Oh how I can feel for you......I have a whole mouth full of broken & chipped teeth. It started when my teeth were being formed. Who would have thought that being sick, having high temperatures, & lots of Antibiotics would end up developing teeth with enamel that wasn't good. Not only that, but I think also inherited bad teeth from my Dad.......thanks alot.....why do we only inherit the bad stuff????
Seriously however, all the teeth that had been filled have ended up breaking off. Of course, I grinded my teeth all my life also & back in the time I was growing up, there wasn't any help for it (or if there was, my parents couldn't afford to do anything).
So now, I have no insurance (medicare doesn't pay for dental). I have no money to pay to have all my teeth taken out & dentures. I refuse to smile as that toothless look just isn't something I want to look like. So the broken teeth just stay there & the sharp edges wear away after awhile (but it does hurt just like you describe before it wears down).
I keep praying that a huge tooth ache or abcess doesn't settle in before I have money to do something about it. You would think that medicare would provide money for something like this as it's unhealthy to have teeth in this condition.. I am surprised there isn't infection throughout my mouth.
As I said, I can definitely relate to your pain,
Debbie
