Question

I'm 21 and I have all baby teeth except for my 2 front teeth. My baby teeth are starting to rot out. I need something done but I have medicaid and they won't cover what I need done and I barely have money to live let alone to pay for teeth. Does anyone know what causes this and how I might be able to get it fixed. Its horrible. I get made fun of for my teeth all the time and I can't smile for pictures or show anyone my teeth. Its embarrassing

Answer 1

You say you have Medicaid. Are you eligible for State Funded Health care? You do need to get this taken care of as it could lead to major health problems. I am not trying to scare you. You do need to find a dentist or a University Dental Center that will work on you without cost.

Even though the problem MIGHT be considered a COSMETIC PROBLEM it surely isn't.

OR

If you already were turned down by the state program, I suggest writing a letter to them and explain the pain and suffering that this has put you through. Tell them that it is a problem that prevents you from working at all. If you have to go to a Psychologist and explain the mental anguish that this causes you. Maybe you can convince the agency that you must be taken care of.

Try not to give up.

Answer 2

Since she is 21 most state funded dental care won't cover her....unless she's pregnant or under 21.  That's the way it is in TN anyways.
