I never took my daughter to the dentist and now that she is a Senior she lost?

both front teeth while eating an apple. I rushed her to the dentist and in private the dentist stated that all her teeth must be removed. They are that bad!





How do I inform my her that the entire row of top teeth have to be pulled out first and the worst of it is - - I do not have any money for implants or dentures. The dentist won't make payments and my credit is shot. She doesn't know but, the appt is this Saturday. She thinks she is getting her two front teeth repaired.





What about her senior pictures? I don't know what to do...

Move to Arkansas. Front teeth are optional there.
Reply:where have you been for 17 years?
Reply:Sure you didn't knock them out during the 8 yr old pillow fight.
Reply:What are you serious?


What was your question again?
Reply:if you cant pay to fix her teeth how are you paying for senior pictures? If you are that bad off you should be able to get some kind of assistance
Reply:Oh my gosh why did you not take her to a dentist that is disgusting... the poor girl... go to a dentist the recostructs teeth
Reply:Holy cow... did you not have her brush her teeth or anything? You are kind of bad... Well you should sit her down and tell her about the whole thing and then see if you can somehow get the money for dentures or something. You could sell something and have a garage sale to get the money because you can't go through life without teeth
Reply:Volunteer at a retirement home and steal some dentures for her then get some crazy glue and put those suckers in there permanently.
Reply:ya know this isn't even funny
Reply:First, wait until after the pictures have been taken to move forward with any kind of treatment. Your daughter can still smile for her pictures, just not have her mouth open.





Second, find a dentist that WILL allow you to make payments for whatever it takes to clean this mess up.





I can't imagine how this ever happened but since you say it has you have to do all you can to make things right for her.
Reply:Please don't think I am being rude, but if you don't already have one, could you get a second part-time job for a short while to help cover the costs of this expense? I know it is hard being a single mom (I was one) but you got to do what you got to do to keep your kids healthy. You can actually be charged with neglect if you don't. One of your children's teachers could actually report you for neglect, which could result in serious problems for you.
