      Desperatley Need Dental Work!

      I suffer from chronic pain, I have fibromalgia and many severe back problems. About 3 years ago, my doctor prescribed a medication to me called Actiq, it is a pain medication. This medication comes in the form of a lollipop.  Taking this medication over a period of three years, destroyed my teeth. I took very good care of my teeth during the time I was taking Actiq and did not have any serious dental problems before taking the Actiq.
      The dentist informed me that it would cost me $25,000 dollars to have my teeth fixed. There is no way I can afford this. I am hoping to find a dentist that will fix my teeth at a reduced cost to donate dental services.
      My damaged teeth is affecting my life in a very negative way. I am unable to smile without feeling very self-conscious. I have been trying to find employment, but I know that my not smiling and feeling so self-conscious has affect my ability to get a job. It has affected my social life. When I go out in public or meet someone new, I do not want to talk or smile because I am afraid they will see my teeth. Additionally, I suffer from infections in my teeth and severe pain from toothaches. It is very difficult to eat.
      Please, if anyone knows of a dentist or agency that has reduced fees or will donate dental services, I would be very grateful.

        Like you, I also suffer from the devastating  damage caused by this medication.  No longer can I perform as a flutist. After being unsuccessful at trying to hire a law firm to have the company pay for dental work, am trying to salvage the few teeth I have left.  Maybe if we pull together, a firm will tackle this.  It would appear that the people suffering from this is more than the average public knows.  Would you be interested in joining me in the fight?

        YOU MAY GO TO DONATE DENTAL SERVICES, BUT YOU MUST BE A T POVERTY LEVEL TO QUALIFY.  YOU MAY ALSO TRY TO FINANCE IT WITH CARE CREDIT. IF YOU FIND ANYTHING ELSE PLESE POST IT FOR i HAVE BEEN LOKKING ALSO FOR MY DISABLED SISTER
