My name is Michelle and I am 27 years old.  I saw my oral surgeon today and he said that I need my remaining 16 teeth extracted and I need to get dentures.  I knew this was coming, as I have had problems with my teeth for a few years.  I had perfect teeth until I turned 24 and fell off of my dad's insurance.  My husband works as an EMT and we have 6 children total, and there is just no way I have been able to afford the root canals that I have needed.  Now I have 5 teeth left on the bottom, and 11 teeth left on the top.  I can't chew my food, so I have to eat soft foods and I stay hungry all the time.  Now I don't know what to do because I found out today that the oral surgeon is charging $2,136.00 the day of surgery, plus my dentures will cost anywhere from $400.00 to $900.00!!!  I am so upset right now I don't know what to do.  We can't even afford all of our bills, how could I even think about this???  I'm miserable because I can't eat.  If anyone can maybe tell me of some ways I might be able to get some assistance with this I would greatly appreciate it.
