I'm 15 and I had option "B"(ugly buck teeth that hurt), but I decided to go with option"A" after a lot of them got loose and I lost some front ones. Which would you choose? Why? Oh, yeah, no dental coverage and not a lot of money, so we didn't have many choices that were anything close to affordable. Hope to get some fake teeth in the spring maybe.

My mom has a little too much income to qualify for assistance, at least so far. Since my teeth were loose and coming out because of of gum problems I didn't even know I had til my teeth were too loose to save I would have lost them all before long anyway.

Bless your heart. I honestly feel for you. When I was in high school, I didn't have perfect teeth either, and my family didn't have insurance or anything, and my Mom was the only one that worked because my Dad was disabled. There was 6 in our family. Us kids all got jobs at early ages. Just tell anybody that asks or makes fun of you (hopefully noone will, that is cruel) that you are having dental work done, and hopefully before long your problems will be fixed. AND REMIND THEM THAT THEY AREN'T PERFECT EITHER. Some peoples imperfections are on the inside and other people's are on the outside.

I am so sorry for you. Was that a result of an illness? Maybe you can get coverage if it was side effect of a medication or treatment. I just hope it's not a result of bad dental hygiene- that's just sad.
Toothless is slightly better because you can have fake teeth put in.

Toothless is scary....but buck teeth is embarrassing. Can't choose. Hope i won't have to come to that terrible decision. I'm sorry about your teeth though.

Do not pull your teeth if you can help it. If it is money you need to get them fixed I know someone personally very rich that gives money away for things like this.

Why would buck teeth hurt?
I had buck teeth up until middle school when I finally got braces. It was the BRACES that hurt!

If it was very painful I would opt to not having them. That is a hard decision. Hopefully you will have some fake ones soon.

I would say toothless, but I hope I never have to go through that. I'm sorry.

Honey, if you have Medicaid (or your family can apply for it), many dentists take it and may be able to pay for your teeth.

Are you in the U.S? If so, could you get on Medi-cal? I am not sure how it works, but you could probably qualify, and let state pay for fthem. - I wish you luck.
