Re: Anyone know about 'AFFORDABLE DENTURES' DENTAL CHAIN???? please read i know

[Guest guest]

Hi , my pain is a little out of whack today also. I had an upper

partial and it was great. A nurse " accidentally " threw it away when I

was in the hospital about 5 months ago(btw, does anyone think I have any

recourse about her tossing my $1299 partial, that's what it would cost

me now), My teeth were like yours since I was little. I always wanted

pretty teeth. I lost 1 in front( on top) when I was 35 and I was so

embarrassed. A year later I finally got in to see a medicaid dentist,

he didn't do a fantastic job but It was so nice to be able to smile

without people seeing me cover my mouth. Now I will be saving money to

get another one. The dentist I am going to is a rural heath initiative

and does it on a sliding scale, so I hope we can work something out.

I really hate it too when you see a dr and you have missing or bad

teeth, I think they assume you are doing meth or something.

anyways go with the partial I had no trouble just make sure when they do

the mold they check it twice or even three times, my bottoms didn't fit

but i was mainly wanting top.

good luck [] cynthia missouri
