Hello BeyondtheRainbow: I'm sorry you are facing these expensive dental procedures. I'm no longer on med's of any kind. And one of the reasons for this (among others) is fear of what the med's might do to my teeth.

Growing up, I wasn't taught good dental care. By the time I reached my early twenties my teeth started breaking one after another. Some of them were pulled. (Nowadays they wouldn't be. But back then, I guess there weren't the options there are today. Or at least they weren't offered to me.)

Each time I would have one pulled, I would freak out! Eventually it occurred to me that if I took better care of my teeth, perhaps I wouldn't keep having so much difficulty. And, over the years, I've become quite compulsive about it. So the teeth I have left are in good shape. Yet I still carry the fear around. Anyway, I send you my best wishes with the hope that you will be able to put all of these bills behind you.
