I don't often talk about this problem or open up so this sorta feels weird. I've had horrible teeth my whole life. I guess for the longest time I blamed my parents for not making me brush my teeth. I mean, I'm a kid right! We aren't supposed to brush our teeth unless our parents tell us to. Well, this was the case for many years and by the time I reached college my teeth were in fairly bad shape. I'm 34 now and smiling is something I do not do often. I lost a tooth in an accident once so that makes things look worse.
What is there a person can do? Just for a basic cleaning at a dentist costs too much (for me) while struggling to pay bills and eat.
We all dream of a smile makeover but that's all it is usually for most....a dream!
Thank-you

Hi, I have had dental problems my whole life. I cracked a tooth in third grade and back then they did not do cosmetic work. I was teased all through school. This tooth made my braces bad. I then had alot of decay from giving up. It is so sad,I look back on photos of my self,and I really was pretty. I let my teeth ruin me. I have three children whom all have great smiles and teeth. I always do put myself last when it comes to money. Id rather do for my children then my self. It though has now come to where I can not be the mother I want to be or the person with a smile like this. I Need Implants, bridges, veneeres, root canals,..so much work. I recently finished a round of chemo therapy, and it made my teeth more sensitive. THe chemo for once worked,so I am thrilled. I feel like I have a new lease on life. I have been ill since I have been sixteen years old. I am in my fourtys. A long time to be ill. I am praying I can win a make over dental smile. I can not aford this,and I want to smile all the time....but can't. I need help paying for this. My 7 year old Daughter also has to do this awful chemo too....and it adds up. Obviously she comes first!! I wish I had the funds to pay for a happy bright smile,and I would. I would take such good care of this smile. Is there any way you could please let me know if there is a contest,or any one willing to work with me to give me the gift of a smile. Please, oh please.. Im located close to La,and can and will go any where to get the help I need. THanks for reading my post. Holli

Please help!!! I am a single mom of two, who recently got out of an abusive relationship! My mom couldn't afford to get me the dental work needed growing up! So growing up was humiliating, embarrassing and so much more because I was picked on for having a ugly teeth. Till this day I walk and talk with my head down because I'm ashamed and afraid of peoples reactions! I want to know how it feels to be able to smile a beautiful smile someday.

Hi. My teeth are loosing all the enamel on them! They are very thin and are starting to get sensitive to hot and cold food and drinks. Being a one income family, we can't afford insurance. I would love the opportunity to receive a dental makeover. I'd be the best spokeswoman/advertisement you could ever receive!!! I miss my smile and my confidence!! Thank you.

Basically...Theres nothing I want more in the world today than a dental makeover... I have no insurance due to the fact that I am just coming to the accept the fact that I am disabled and I will not be able to return to full time work.. Ive been sick for sometime now and with all the meds they've tried me on for all these years ..its given me extremely dry mouth , I have fibromyalgia, and after being diagnosed with that and a bunch of different kinds of arthritis ..I was Tboned in a car accident that just messed up the other parts of my body...so where I once was told oh you have the prettiest smile... i have no smile anymore .. I have missing teeth.. i can barely eat because I only have the the very last teeth on all 4 sides in the back , which I had to have the hymlic manuver on me before because I was choking on my food.. and my stomach hurts all the time bc my food isnt digested enough, high blood pressure ..im sure bc of all the infections i get all the time...not to mention Ive basically turned into a hermit ... Im a single mother of 2 who had to move back in with my parents after my accident..... I dont want to date bc I dont want them to see my missing teeth....Im depressed enough by having to even think about if someone will accept me with my medical conditions..BUt NOW who wants to date a girl with missing teeth.... I catch so called friends making fun of me on facebook, also family members... people just dont realize how this affects a persons whole life and everything they do in their lives...I feel if I could get a dental makeover I would feel better about myself AGAIN.. which would in turn help my fibro by relieving that major part of the stress, help my blood pressure, migraines..My health general...Im only 42 and single ..My kids are almost grown and I have alot of life left ahead of me (hopefully) I dont want to spend it like a hermit in a room at my parents house...I just need help... we have no money for this..And I feel if this could improve my health..maybe I could live a more normal life ..even with my fibromyalgia

ever since i was young i have had horrible problems with my teeth my first dentist never sealed my teeth, i have a gum disease. all my teeth have been root canaled and some vaneers, they look nice in the front but tha back teeth are rotting, i had my son 2 years ago and since then my teeth are rotting and breaking in half and my life dream is to become a model, after having ovarian cancer you'd think id get better luck. ive had horrible experiences with dentists who have yelled at me he was taking out my wisdom teeth without numbing me or putting me to sleep and kept yelling at me calling me a baby. ive always wanted healthy white teeth or at least a fake smile i could be proud of and walk down a runway! my teeth are constantly causing me horrible amounts of pain and rotting and im only 24 my teeth have been rotting since my adult teeth came in. id just like the blessing of a great smile, a great smile can make all the difference in my world. CONFIDENCE!

I am posting this as a plea for a change in my lifestlye and self esteem. I am a 45 year old mother of three who is acheiving her doctorate in psychology. I have always told my children how beautiful they were and that they could acheive anything if they only believed in themselves and saw the beauty in them that I do. Unfortunately I have not been able to believe this of myself lately (about the last 6 years) because I do not see a beautiful woman in the mirror anymore. although I have acheived 12 degrees (Mater's included)I have been held back in following my first love as a singer and now it is effecting me as for getting further in my career as a psychologist ( I hate being in public) this stems from a work related fall (in 2010)as well which I am still recovering from. I am always told how great I am but I just can't get pass my horrible smile. I am so afraid to go after my passion which is singing that I chose to become a psychologist to get over my issues. I still have a a year and a half to go before I can get my internship and I will have to face my public. I have been taking my classes one at a time for the last three semesters because I dread having to face an interview due to my smile and teeth. I feel that I am always being scrutinized and secretly talked about. I also have been asked to interview for a band but I am afraid of following thru because they will see my horrible faults. Please someone help so that I can get pass this emotional barrier and get on with my life. I want to feel beautiful again and a pretty smile will make my days so much brighter. They haven't been for so long. I would really like to practice what I teach. P.s. I am a high school health teacher by trade for 14 years( how ironic, huh)and I know that this will do a lot for my self conception and will make a difference in how my life will flow.

Please help me fix my teeth. I've had a hard life that's led to many issues, between a difficult childhood, parental divorce which took a toll emotionally and when I was 8 I had an avm it's kind of like a stroke, it left me paralyzed on my right side. Growing up different from other children was very difficult and painful as one might imagine with all the teasing and things I was not able to do. From bad relationships came severe depression, drug use and bulimia which have left my teeth weak, PLEAAAAASE HELP I want to feel beautiful.

Hello,
My name is Ashley. I am an aspiring business student. I am perusing a bachelor’s degree in business administration and a master’s degree in health care administration. I am 22 and a mother of 2 beautiful boys. I attend school solely on financial aid with no financial help from family. My teeth cause me to have little confidence and I'm terrified that my embarrassment in regards to my smile will hold me back from my full potential in achieving my goals and giving my children the life that I wish I had. Receiving a smile makeover would be the ultimate blessing, outside from my children. I hope someone can help me. I would be forever grateful and appreciative to those who have the ability to change my life in the most amazing way and truly make my dreams come true. Thank you for reading. - Ashley

I am writing this on behalf of my step daughter who is in desperate need of a new smile. she was unlucky enough to be raised in a family that was unable to get her any dental care as a child due to some dire circumstances. she is now 28 years old and has struggled most of her life just trying to survive, un fortunately ther hasnt been a whole lot of family support and she just recently lost her baby boy. This young lady has overcome so many obsticales in her life, i am really impressed with her will to survive. I believe that a new smile would help her in so many ways, as of right now all of her teeth are decayed and broken. she is the most deserving person i know and i would love to be able to bring her a little happiness in her life. thnk you R. Ducat

Back in 2003 I went to court for domestic violence from my ex because he punched me in the face and knocked out my front teeth. Prior to him doing that I had braces on for a few years and only had them off for about a month or so before he hit me. When we went to court he had to pay me back for the braces and he went to jail for about nine months that I'm aware of. At that time the dentist wasn't sure what type of work I will need done to fix my teeth because everyone's body is different and who knows what I will need done in the future. So when we were going to court the judge didn't want to grant me any more money than just paying me back for the braces but he didn't actually pay for my teeth to get fixed.
Now when I go see my dentist he tells me that he is surprised that they are still in there and it's possible for them to fall out at anytime. These past years they have caused me so much pain and so many tears. I am very insecure about my teeth because they have changed color and they have moved so much over the years. Along with my other teeth since I only had my braces off for about a month and I wasn't able to wear a retainer after I got hit. So at this point not only my front teeth need work but now my other teeth need work as well. A lot of my teeth are worst now than before I even had my braces on. I need two root canals in the front, I have a infection that is causing me a lot of pain and I will need two implants after that. Since I needed these root canals for a while now my front teeth are starting to show little cracks in them and after that they will just fall out from what my dentist has told me. At this point I'm so terrified of that happening and just want them fixed more than anything right now. I am extremely embarrassed of my teeth and it holds me back from so many things. It changes my mood when I'm around most people because I feel like everyone just stares at them. Every time I talk or think about it, it just makes me cry and wish this never happened. I think about it every single day and it's just a reminder of what type of relationship I was in at that time. I want my teeth fixed so bad that winning this contest is like winning the lottery to me. Thank you so much!

hello there. i know there is a lot of people that needed your help . hoping that you will pick me for this free dental makeover. My teeth are all gone and decayed. On the top is all decayed and some of it on the back is all decayed also. the roots are already left there and 6-7 of the front teeth are all still looks ok but the rest are all gone. First it all happens when i my son was 4 months old and now he is 13 years old. I am unemployed and on Medi-cal and Foodstamp. and i receive unemployment benefits. I haven't gone to the dentist ever since then cause couldn't afford it. I applied for a job and worried about getting in for an interview cause of my ugly smile. I am 36 years old now. and since my son was 4 months old or when i was pregnant with him my teeth started to get rotten and gone. I don't know where else to turn too .. I need your help please so i can get my smile back and feel confident about myself. Ever since this happens my confident already went away. It doesn't show but deep down inside I lost everything even my self esteem. Please help me .. I really appreciate it a lot..
thank you for taking the time on reading this..

I am in desperate need of a dental makeover. I am interested in entering a contest for cosmetic dentistry because I can't afford the expense, do not have insurance, and have been unemployed for a year. The state insurance coverage for our state, does not cover adult dental. I do not smile anymore due to lack of confidence, and I once had a beautiful smile. Sometimes I cry due to self pity. Is there a dentist out there who can help me?

I am 31 years old and i have the worst smile ever. I am so embarrased to have interactions with people because i think they only see my teeth. I am really a happy person but my dental problems have made me act unhappy in my every day life because to be happy you have to smile. I have tried to avoid any situtation i may enjoy because i do not want anyone to see, so i look for the bad in all things so i dont have to smile and when i do forget (which isnt often) i am so very embarrased and look for the quickest way out. I am recently divorced mother who is certain that my life will remain joyless until i get this problem fixed. Please help!

I am asking for help for my son, Justin who is 24 yrs old. Two years ago he was diagnosed with Dysautonomia (Autonomic Neuropathy of Sympathetic Nerveos System) and POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachardia Syndrome. These are debilitating diseases with no cure and very little treatment options. Since he has been sick we have noticed his teeth are going bad. An already devestated young man has completely withdrawn from the world. He is a handsome, kind, loving young man that needs help to get his life back. Having his teeth fixed would mean so much to him and help give him his confidence back, as well as a reason to hope again.
The last ten years have been devestating for our family. We lost my beloved mother after a long battle with cancer. During this time, their father (my husband) fought each day of his life to survive. He needed a heart & kidney transplant. He was in the Vanderbilt transplant program then Cleveland Clinic Transplant Program. He died in April 2011.
Myself and my two children spent every day and night caring for their father David. He suffered more than anyone I've ever known. Had it not been for my two children, Justin & Megan I would not have made it. We didn't have help from anyone and it was a long, hard road filled with heartache.
Justin was 4 when my sister lost her life in Desert Storm. He was 8 when my youngest brother died from Ewings Sarcoma. This young man has seen a lot of loss and now faced with a serious illness himself.
Each member of this family has been hurt deeply. Seeing Justin sick hurts us to the core. Please give him a reason to smile again. Seeing him happy would give us all a reason to smile again.
Thank you for this generous opportunity.

My smile makes me feel terrible and embarrassed, about myself. I fell self- conscious about smiling and the fact that I had to lose my back teeth prior to chemo therapy, and was never given the chance to really help myself.
It makes me feel sad because I love to laught and talk. But since I lost my teeth I don't feel comfortable smiling in front of people. I also have a hard time swallowing, eating and pain, due to the lost teeth.
If I could get the work done from you. The first thing I would do is eat a apple or other foods that I was forced to avoid this last two years. I would feel like I'm flying on cloud nine from being so grateful that I was given the opportunity to smile back at the world again with a twinkle in my eyes with extreme confidence to face the world again.

I am a 42 year old mother of two boys. I have had a difficult time with my teeth for 20 years now. I got kicked in the mouth by my son when he was a baby and he loosened all my teeth. I made a dentist appointment and too my surprise was sexually fondled by the dentist himself, and not a single person believed me. A short time later the dentist was arrested and charged. I have had an extreme fear since. I recently had to go and have all my teeth pulled and am now in upper and lower dentures. Please help me, I dont deserve this at such a young age. I pray to god every night for a miracle. I am in desperate need of cosmetic denistry. I got married 9 years ago, by the justice of the peace, because I was to embarassed to have a wedding when i wouldnt smile. I have since got hurt at work and have went through a couple back surgeries, and have now lost my husband due to all of my pain. I need a new beginning, and am in desperate need of a smile makeover.

Hi. I'm Desiree, but you can call me Dez. I'm twenty. I'm kinda pretty, I mean I have a good physic, and nice face, big bright blue eyes. I'm very happy with myself. I'm a kind, considerate and thoughtful young woman. I've always tried to make everyone else as happy as I've always wanted to be. I am very happy right now, and have been for the last six months. I met the man of my dreams. He's perfect. He has the prettiest blue eyes, a very nice face, great body and the most perfect smile. All he does is smile.
I haven't been through hell, there is always someone out there who's got it worse so I haven't felt sorry for myself ever for too long. I have been through a lot though. I've heard much worse horror stories on the news and such. I've just never met anyone yet who is twenty and who's gone through the things I have, only heard stories on t.v. Their stories make me sad, and make the sorriness I have once had for myself go away.
I laugh and smile with my family. They are all very happy people. My boyfriend, the man of my dreams and his two beautiful little girls. Somehow he saw something in me, and now I get to be the luckiest person walking this planet because I get to walk with these amazing people.
Did I mention this man of my dreams has the most perfect smile I've ever seen?
Well he does. He really, really does.
I'm pretty, he always tell me this. I love myself and I know that I'm a beautiful young woman. I just once would like to stand beside him and feel like he's lucky. Maybe he could be the luckiest person on this planet because he's walking beside me.
I would love to have this makeover. I know that I haven't been through hell. But I have been through enough. I would never say the things I have gone through like everyone else on here in this comment for everyone to read. But if I was ever considered to win a smile makeover I would tell you my life story. Only if you didn't feel sorry for me, I don't anymore feeling sorry. I've gone through a lot but I'm tough.
I just need a break for once, maybe you could give it to me.
I want to look in the mirror and think whoa, who's that? She is stunning.
I could be, I should be stunning.
Maybe you could help.
Thank you.

Hi My name is Darlene Bennett and I live in St. Pete., Fl.
Im 57 and I cry even with cleanings. Im so ashamed of my teeth I don't smile enough. I have people say Smile and it makes me feel terrible. When I was young my Mom would take me to the dentist and he would have to strap me in the chair and made my visit so horrific and because I was so scared I would never get anything from the treasure chest lol. Please consider me. Thanks in advance. Darlene

Ok in 2003 my husband was walking down the road and got hit by a truck going about 45mph he was in a comma for 16 days and has lots of metal, screws, pins and plates in his leg and hip. He is not able to work and were working on trying to get disability. We have 3 kids and 1 income can't afford dental insurance and they will only cover 1500. Bc of the accident he needs all of his top teeth pulled and dentures put in. He's only 27 and very self concious bc of his teeth its hard to get him to smile bc of them. Please help him get his smile back thanks and God bless!

Hi, I am 45 yrs old, no insurance, min wage job full time. Full time student as well. My teeth are crumbling and breaking off , I think its from major weight loss , I had a gastric bypass 7 years ago and have lost 210 lbs. I can't afford to fix my teeth because 2 years after I had my gastric bypass, I left my good job due to personal issues in my home life. Now I am separated from my husband ( he was on drugs at the time, I hate drugs and refuse to live with someone useing.) I had to file bankrupt to keep from being on the street. I need help with my teeth.

Hallo My name is Lleneke van Rensburg. I am 18 years old and live in South Africa on a farm with my father. I had bulimia for almost 3 years and my teeth is in a bad condition. God gave me a wonderful talent to sing. Sometimes when I sing and the audience enjoy it, I thank God for working through me, because it is all Him and the blessings that I recieve from him. I feel ashamed about what I did and dream of the day that I can smile with confidence again and show other people that has eating disorder and depression that there is hope and that they will be happy again when they just make the difficult choice to stop what they are doing. My dream is to be like Diana and to help make a difference in the lives of people all over the world.
I have been in rehab and I have succesfully recovered from bulimia and anorexia. It was hard because my mother was the one that really got me through it and when she died a year ago, I was all alone and had to deal with my problem all by myself. I was also very ill this year while diong my matric year and sometimes it felt as if I didn't want to live anymore, because for a long time nothing seemed to get better no matter how hard I tried.
I really hope that you will pick me because I am ready to help make the world a better place through the inner confidence that I have been hiding for so long. Thank you for this opportunity

I was born with bad teeth ( something that was put on a dummy as a soother rotted them ) fortunately they cam back ok and from being 14 after yrs of dental treatments I dodged the treatment :( , then I had my children who have disabilities, one has autism and another has cerebral palsy, my teeth didn't seem to important for a while then just recently a crown I had on a side tooth cam out and I swallowed it!!! As I was half crying looking in the mirror at the gap I noticed just how bad all my other teeth were!! The one next to the crown was decayed and the one next to that chipped, my back teeth have gone and I've even pulled a few out ( or snapped for want of a better explanation!!) I honestly can't remember when the last time I chewed on all sides of my mouth and they've hurt for yrs, I have even had antibiotics of other people when I've had abcesses and not wanted to go to the dentist, trouble was , the worse my teeth get, the less I want to go. I already have crap self esteem and after the shock of swallowing the crown ( god knows how I got that done!!) the realisation is I need to do something and I just can't afford it, if you can help I would so much appreciate it and if not , thank you for reading :) x

I am 30 years old and only have 12 teeth left, they're my front but they need crowns too. I have horrible teeth and my jaw is out of alignment. I was in an abusive relationship and he knocked my jaw out of alignment and cracked and knocked teeth loose. I won't smile anymore without covering my mouth. My sex life is even being affected because I don't like to kiss or open my mouth too far. I need help because I am disabled because of PSTD and really need this done for me. PLEASE HELP.

I am 25 yrs old and need help with my teeth i really need some help i apply to dental makeovers when i see them hoping to win. i lost my first tooth when i was 17 and so far i lost 3 more and my teeth are crooked badly.

Please someone hep i would appreciate it and pray that GOd will bless your for you helping others.

I was born with a gland disorder. I started growing correctly at age 4. My second set of teeth are yellow, and this has made me self conscious for yrs. I have suffered through 3 horrific tragedies in 6 mos. I am now left to raise my two boys alone. I always put myself "Last". Seeing my teeth white would make me cry. Thats all I have to say.

My name is Megan B. I am a 21 year old girl. Since I was 8 I have never been able to confidentely smile at someone. On my 8th birthday my parents took me ice skating and I tripped and fell and chipped my front tooth. Now I have half a false tooth that is colored differently from the rest of the took. It's not someonething that is unnoticable.
On top of that, after I got braces, my teeth, which are brittle to begin with, started getting really bad. After they were taken off, my orthodontist found a type of decay around my gum line on my teeth. I went to the dentist to get most of my problems fixed when i was still living with my family. But he did an awful job and made me feel absolutaly horrible about the way my teeth look. Needless to say I didn't go back.
Now I live on my own, and the work the dentist was supposed to do, didnt help. Now my teeth are worse than ever and I cannot afford to get the help I need.
I am barely scraping by trying to live on my own as it is.
If I could get any help with my dental issues I could finally smile at my boyfriend of 4 years. I could finally laugh and not be afraid to let my teeth show. I love to laugh and my friends are all so funny. But when I laugh I have to cover my mouth so that no one will see that my teeth are absolutaly horrible.

Hello, from Hampshire, England!! My names Karen and I’m writing to you guys to ask and plead for your up most, professional help! I’m 23 and my most divine, loving partner is called Ben and he’s 28. We’ve been together for over 21/2 years now and if there’s one thing that I have learnt about my beloved boyfriend is that he’s incredibly conscious about his teeth! I mean it’s never been a bother to me as his smile can brighten up my day what ever the weather. Ben has had a very though life, he has been through a number of life experiences most people would not wish for anyone to go through, but through all these tough times I can say that he the most amazing person I have ever met. He has taught me so many ways of the world, opened up my mind and eyes and really showed me what love is. So I’m asking you guys to help! I want to show my appreciation by doing something so spectacular that it’ll blow his mind and show him how much him and his happiness really means to me!. There would be nothing more comforting and warming then to see him sooooo happy and really show that smile I see to everyone because he truly is a special person. As a child he used to be an extreme chocoholic (one of the worst cases I’ve seen!) but since then and since we’ve been together I’ve seemed to tamed his chocolate habits and introduced a new selection of foods called ‘salad & fruit’ into his life and he loves me for it! Well, you can say it was kind’a mumsie, but he’s needed a point in the right direction and he’s never looked back since! He’s had a number of back teeth taken out through his years of extensive chocolate chopping and now relies on his front to chew his food, which in due course have worn away to a degree, where now they really are starting to worry him that he may loose those too!..I’m saddened that we can’t afford the treatment for him, as I would love nothing more then to bless him with a opportunity like that. So I’ve come across the idea of a competition! Where you’ve got to be in it to win it, right??, and I WANT to WIN it!..for my lovely soon to be fiancé!.. :-) Here’s to a well done steak!!! :-) Thanks!!! x

The most amazing thing for me would be able to smile in my pictures, give eye contact when talking with people. It has been 10 years since I smiled in a photo, I'm so embrassed of my teeth I cry, Having a bad mouth brings down self- esteem. I want to one day take a picture with my grandson. I look upset all the time because I don't smile. I would one day love to do so. I was electrocuted as a child in the month which damaged my lips and teeth. Please help me! I would be so grateful and my kids would love for me to one day smile.

Hi,im currently in the National guard,but cannot afford insurance through them due to my wife going to school and our two boys. When i joined the army i thought all employers would see this as a good thing but its not that way at all. When i came home from iraq two years ago i thought jobs would love to have a veteran worker but instead they see a liability, Who wants to employ someone that may have to leave again. Im 30 years old and i make $9.00 an hour. The company i work for has hired on many workers since ive been there and when i ask why wasnt i chosen,they say i dont have enough experience. Even though i have been there for almost 15months. I have tried to join active military or just switch over like they tell you that you can do when you join the guard. What they dont tell you is that you dont get a choice a to where yo get sent. I was told that if i switced id be on the first plane to afghanistan. Im trapped.. My teeth are slowly degrading away. I have chips missing,cavities,bleeding gums. Sometimes i wish i could just get them all pulled and get false teeth. I hate my teeth. My biggest fear is my wife asking me to smile or when my kids reach up to play with my teeth. I dont know what to do,or who to turn to. I found this page while looking how to stop bleeding gums. I never talk about my problems to anyone. This is my first admission. I hate and despise people who ask for help. But now im asking for help. I need help enen if its just a coupon. I dont even know if anyone will read this but if you do please help me or if not me one of these other hurt people on here. I know we all hurt in some form or fashion. Just help someone and make their life just a little bit better...Thank You.

I marry the love of my life next September & by then, my teeth would have rotted all away by now. I have a hole in my tooth, slowly but surely, the roots to my teeth will be black & so will my teeth. I have discoloration all throughout my mouth. Horrible teeth, mainly through heredity & genes. I hate my smile. I'm self conscious when I take pictures so I'll always look back & notice nothing but my ugly teeth and stupid smile. What sucks even worse, is that I'm only 21. help me PLEASE.

I am a single mother of 3. I got into a car accident a few years backa and I got alot of injuries from it. It also broke a few of my teeth including front so since my accident i do not remember a day that I have actually smiled showing my teeth. I use to smile all the time but now I am ashamed to show my teeth. I have not had the money to see a dentist to get it taken care of so they have just gotten worse it would make my life so much better to get help with my smile and be able to smile and laugh with my daughters and not feel like I need to hide. Or work a job and not be ashamed of what my teeth look like. It would mean the world to me to not hurt anymore, not have broken sharp teeth or be ashamed of my smile to live my life with my daughters with tons of smiles!

Hello, My name is Bonnie and I am 37 years old. All my trouble began when I became addicted to prescription medication. I took so much medicine that I neglected my teeth, drinking soda and eating without brushing. My teeth used to be the highlight of me with people always complimenting on what a pretty smile I had. My parents spent thousands on my teeth when I was younger with 5 years of orthodontic treatment. In the middle of my addiction, when any teeth went bad, I would just have them pulled because I couldnt afford to have them fixed. Now,after treatment in a place called Teen Challenge, I have been drug free for 4 years! I am a nurse, but am pursuing a degree in Christian Counseling and would desperately love to to have a pretty smile again. If anyone can help me, I would be eternaly grateful. God Bless!

I am a 66 year old female who has not had a nice smile my entire adult life. I'm too embarassed to smile or take pictures. I don't like to talk in front of people because they look directly at my mouth. I nearly panicked when my said said he was getting married because I knew I have to be in the pictures. My speech is not even the way it's suppose to be because of my dentures. I would love to have a free dental makeover. Please, Please, Please!!

Lauren, its sad to hear about you. If there is decay in teeth, then the teeth can be restored and saved. Teeth if not restored can lead to pain later on. If there is deep caries in the teeth, then root canal treatment can be done to remove the infection from the tooth. You have to get your decayed teeth restored before they deteriorate further. If you don't have much of money for dental treatment, then you can approach any of the dental schools near your place where treatment provided is cheap. You can also browse on net to know about the contests which offer dental make over as prize. You can also talk to your dentist if you can pay in installments for getting treatment done.

After reading some of these posts, I realize that some may need it more than I do. The fact of the matter is, I'm not sure why ALL of my teeth are rotting away. I haven't opened my mouth in front of ANYONE in over 6 years. I do not even want to go out of my house to find employment because of my missing teeth. I tend to confine myself to my home. When I do have an interview, the whole time I feel as if they are staring right at my mouth. I have no insurance, and like most, can not afford the work out-of-pocket. It's quite depressing. Not sure how much more embarrassment I can take.

My dental problems started a few years ago & I only recently found out (when I went to a clinic) that every tooth in my mouth has a cavity. I am 31yrs old & my dental health was put on the back burner when both of my parents were diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2008-my dad had colon cancer & my mom had breast cancer. Shortly after they passed away I became pregnant with my first child, my daughter. I had a very complicated pregnancy (my daughter was 7wks early & only 2lbs because of preeclamsya) & I had no dental insurance throughout my pregnancy. It was only when I began to have pain & notice a lot of decay that I realized the damage that was taking place-i had no idea the extent of it until I went to a clinic. My dental problems cause me pain & make me very self conscious. Sadly, I think that the look of my smile has even started to effect my daughter-i don't make playdates as often because I worry what people will think of my rotting smile. It's sad & depressing & I often cry about it out of fear that my only option will be total extraction. A smile makeover would be lifesaving for me.

I'm a 46 yr old women suffering in silence. I’m slowly loosing all my teeth. I have had major health problems most of my life as well as havened had any health insurance or money to pay for my dental work. My children and they’re needs come first and always have and will. But it has gotten to the point that I can't eat anything without it hurting to chew with my broken off teeth and decade teeth. Anything cold or hot hurts my teeth but even more then the pain of my teeth is the embarrassment of how bad I look. I look in the mirror and cry. I don't smile anymore because it’s too embarrassing the way I look and the way others look at me when they see me talk or smile. They don’t need to say a word I can see it in their eyes. It hurts so bad when I look in the mirror and see how truly bad I look (I didn’t always look like this, at one time I had a beautiful smile and smiled all the time.) as well as the way others look at you and treat you. It’s a scare that scares you for life. My health is poor and I keep losing weight because I can’t chew my food and I had a gastric bypass 5 yrs ago and lost over 100 lbs and when I am unable to chew my food properly it causes stomach pain. That’s not even to mention the pain I experience on a daily basis from tooth infection, tooth decay and broken teeth. I carry orajal in my pocket at all times so when its needed I can try and numb as much of the tooth as I possible can. I’m sure others ask how I let it get this far its due to poor health and not having insurance and always putting my children’s needs and health care before my own. It seems that the money never seems to go far enough and I am the one that suffered in the long run. Not only then but now. I pray to god that there is someone that is willing enough to help me to have a better smile and health. At this time me and my children have lost our home and living in a 5th wheel next to my friends home. I can’t even afford to go to a dental school. I am scared to death that there’s no programs that I can afford and that are willing to help me. . I've never in my life have won anything and you are my only hope. It is my hope and prayer to be able to put my head up one day and smile to the whole world with the confidence that your help has blessed me with. I thank you for your time. I pray that you will have the time to answer me with guidance and direction that the lord has given you.
Thank you and May God Bless You for helping all that you have helped.
Sherry

Hello, I am only twenty three but my two front teeth are slighty broken from a car accident three years ago, my wisdom teeth Need removed, they are broken and sharp, they have been causing me a bunch of pain here lately and that doesn't make for a grate day. I would love to be able to get them fixed, I have a few other problems but those are my main problems and what bother me the most. thanks for running a promotion for something so many could really use. I would rather win dental work over an iPod any day.

I am 42 years old. I have 3 children and 2 beautiful grand daughters. My kids dad died 2 years ago. It has been a rough 2 years. I have lost my self confidence. About a year and half ago, 4 teeth on the top in front fell out. Not at the same time. I havent smiled sense. It is so embaressing. I quit being social all together. I have always been a free spirited, smiling no matter what kind of person. My kids have noticed a big change, and my grand daughters look at my teeth weird. I want my self back. I had dental work done years ago, and those are the teeth that came out. I can't afford insurance or to pay for replacing my teeth. I am a student, and I won't talk in class or socialize with anybody. I am not the same person. Please consider me for this make over. I want to smile again, and get my life back. Thank You, Stephanie Perry

Thanks everyone who have wrote all these kind of story i feel a little better that i'm not alone here. I'm 30 years old and no teeth just maybe two teeth left an there's like 4 teeth that are chip down to the gum. Been dreaming of seeing myself with a mouth full of teeth,and would love to take a family picture to show that i can smile showing my teeth too.But since i don't have a lot of teeth so i stop taking picture.Sometime i think i scare people because i love to smile but wen i smile they'll see me with no teeth and they give me a weird look and it makes me feel embarrass. I try getting denture two times already but it just don't fit my gum and bothers me a lot. So i stop wearing them. I have a broken jaw do to an accident when i was 7years old and now i have Lupus. I would love to look pretty too and take more family pictures. Sometime my kids are embarrass because their would say why your mom have no teeth? When i look at their face they just look so embarrass and say i don't know. Please help me with a new mouth full of teeth.

I don't know why I am even posting here. I am not the lucky type to win anything, let alone something I need. I am a 32 year old mother of 2. I haven't smiled in about 10 years. I have dental work off and on, but cannot get the important work I need done due to lack of insurance or funds. I had my front teeth fixed about 5 years ago, but the dentist did such a crappy job its already failing. I have weak, discoloured, broken, horrid teeth. In trying to get my own business off the ground I can't even look my clients in the eye :-(. I hope you take the time and consider me.
Thank you.

I am 26 years old and have horrible yellow crooked deteriorating teeth and two unfinished root canals I have an appointment to see the Dentist on Tuesday because the unfisnished root canals have turned into no tooths from breakage... I myself as many of you have always wished for a nice pearly white straight teeth smile ... It wasnt until last year that I noticed that Half of my life I was in destructive mode with my life because of depression and just basically taking care of everyone but myself..Then the worst part is that yesterday my son only four tells me yesterday that my teeth look green like the grass and are not straight :( so upset cosmetic surgery is so expensive!!!!!!

I shouldn't be bothered by all the posts on here but I am due to the fact that there so many people that need dental work beyond simple cosmetic dentistry. Dental expenses are so expensive and Dental insurance covers so little. I am one of those people that NEED dental work due to broken/cracked teeth, horrible stains due to lack of enamel after 4 years of braces as a child. When the braces were finally removed most of my enamel came with it and my parents couldn't afford the treatments to correct the problem. I have suffered for years with rotting teeth even though I brush, floss and use flouride rinses. I am getting married in 6 months and am considering purchasing a snap-on smile just to make it through the wedding without worrying about my smile. I would love to win this contest so I don't have to worry about some of these cracked and broken teeth falling out leaving holes in my mouth and risking serious infections. Thank you for considering me for the smile makeover.

Hi everyone. I am so desperate. I am 29 years old & I have a horrible smile, in fact I don't even smile, I have gaps between my teeth. I think about this every single day, but the worst part is I know I can't afford to take care of this problem. I have very sensitive & thin teeth.

Heather ligas, It’s sad to hear your story. Your mother can get partial dentures or flippers for missing teeth replacement. If you have money constrains, then you can approach any of the dental schools near your place where treatment provided is cheap. Your mother can save her 6 teeth by maintaining good oral hygiene. If there are multiple abscesses present in the mouth, then get treatment done for them. She has to visit a dentist to get the treatment done.

My mom deserves the opportunity to be able to smile once in her life at least. Starting with dentists who did half jobs, my father abusing her, and having financial issues, shes been ashamed and in pain since she was a teenager. Then she had me at 18,so she never took care of herself since then. She has maybe 6 teeth left, and cant leave the house. I would do anything on earth to do this for her. I myself needed to get full dentures at age 22 because of the severity. She's had countless abcesses and suffers from anemia, apnea, and now her teeth are sinking. PLEASE help, I need someo9ne to give her permission at 45 years old to find her one day of happiness and feel like she deserves something, which she does for every9ne else eevery day. thanks so much =)

Katrina, I sympathize with you for whatever happened. If you want to have smile makeover, then you have to visit a dentist for this. If there are some decayed and carious teeth present, then he can restore them. If the alignment and shape of teeth is not correct, then you can either get braces treatment done or can get cosmetic procedures done like veneers, lumineers or crowns for your teeth. If you don’t have enough money, then you can approach any of the dental schools near your place where treatment provided is cheap.

Hello. The only time I feel comfortable communicating is on the internet or phone. Everyone has a sad story to tell,. I won't bore you with that, I just want to talk about my lack of confidence. It's because of my smile. I love to laugh..but am very insecure about that, or even talking. I even dream about (Literally!) my teeth. I cover my mouth constantly. I'm not "myself" at all. Getting a smile makeover would be like winning the lottery, just thinking about it, (the possibility)excites me! Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share my "teeth" story. My "life" story is too long! (-: (my computer smile!)

Hi everyone. I've read the posts and they are touching. I myself have a dental issues and I'm looking into going to Hungary to get a whole dental makeover which will allow me to have more confident. I choose Hungary because I did some search and found out that it is the cheapest way to go right now. The total cost maybe around $6,000 which includes bridges, veneers, airfare, and accommodation. I've became unemployed July 2011 and in the hunt for a new job. I am pursuing my masters degree and will be graduating in April 2012. However, I don't want to go and face my interviewers with missing teeth. I had a bridge on one side of my mouth where I had 2 missing teeth and it got broke. The other side has 2 missing teeth as well that was never taken care of due to the cost.

When I was in my early 20's I went to a dentist. He referred me to another dentist to have a tooth pulled. That dentist said he can do the work -cheaper. He suggested pulling my teeth and replacing it with a partial. I did this and regretted this. Since then I've been to several dentists but not recently. I'm so embarrassed and pray several times a day. Sometimes I pray for the pain to go away. I don't want the pain to be so bad that I have to get a tooth yanked out and then won't be able to wear my partial. It's hard to smile and hope when I talk people don't notice my teeth so much. I hope someone will Please Help. Thank you

Rosa, if you have money constrains, then you can approach any of the dental schools near your place where the treatment is comparatively cheaper. You can browse on net to know about the contests which give free dental make over as a reward. Maintain a good oral hygiene so that your teeth don't deteriorate more.Brush and floss regularly and maintain a good oral hygiene.

Growing up I have had a real bad self estee. After being abused as a child. Through the years I broke my nose 3 or 4 times. I chipped my front tooth. I have lost teeth from the decay from the cement left on my teeth from my braces. The last two years I fought the struggle of obesity and I lost 159 lbs. I hope to continue success by getting a dental Makeover. Thank you for this opportunity.

I am a Desert Storm veteran who has fought tooth loss for 20 years. My teeth have been "high maintenance" since shortly leaving Kuwait. I fought to keep my original teeth until recent years undergoing massive makeovers. I started the procedure of removing teeth to replace with false a couple of years ago. Unfortunately in the middle of my transformation I lost the ability finacially to complete the process. All of my uppers have been removed and I retain 8 of the lowers which are slowly but surely tarnishing away. I have been told that I will need surgery to remove excess gum on my lowers. Im not looking for an "extreme" makeover. Im just hoping someone can remove the remaining lowers and provide dentures. My qualifications usually exceed my competition for a new job opportunity. Its my first impression (bad teeth) that makes interviews impossible. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

I'm 17 years old,life wasn't very easy growing up.I struggled with really bad deppression and one point I completely just gave up on life and taking care of myself.I hadn't taken a shower and brushed my hair in 6 months.My hair was all madded so I had to cut it off and I ended up looking like a foreign boy.My teeth I obviously did'nt take care of.At that time I had braces and my gums actually looked like they receeded I don't know if that could've happened but thats what it looked like.A few years later my braces were removed and the dentist said I had a bunch of calcification especially on my front teeth so he sanded them down and they look pretty strange, not to mention my teeth are see-through.I'm kind of scared of what the future holds with my teeth.I know as you get older you have to get alot of stuff repaired on your teeth and I can't imagine how much it will cost.Please, I want to win this so bad, I'm afraid I'll have to wear dentures by the time I'm 30 like my great-grandmother!

Just Posting my comment:::: A pretty smile would be nice, but I have realized over the years its not going to happen. And all of you have to realize yes having a pretty smile with perfect teeth would change your look some what. I have learned that my ugle smile is who I am its not my fault my teeth look bad its just that my family my children where more inportant to me and I wasnt selfish I gave them all I had and went without over the years..So when I smile a ugle smile I remember hey my family was taken care of ..Life could be worse I could have two mouths of ugle teeth ....

Zeddie, You don't have to be embarrassed because of your teeth. You can get your missing tooth replaced with implants or if you can't afford implants, then you can even opt for dental bridge. If you think that your teeth are too small or are not in a good shape and color, then you can get cosmetic dentistry procedures for it. cosmetic dentistry procedures include crowns, veneers, lumineers. You can discuss these options with your dentist.

I just can't afford to pay to have my teeth fix because of my neglect of my teeth, I can't get job because of my self esteem is gone for 25 yrs or so. my health is bad , i don't know what I'm walking around with,

Hi my name is Deanna and I haven't been to a dentist in over close to 16 or more years, the last time i was at a dentist office i had a bad reaction to the medication. I was already afraid of dentists, my heart beat fast just sitting in the chair. my teeth are so bad , I mean really , really bad ,they are so bad they're falling out by themselves and broken off really bad. it's going to take a sledge hammer to get the rest out, you want to know how really bad they are? I only have 5 in a half teeth left in my whole mouth. I'm to a shame to go outside let a lone talk to people, the only ones I can be around is my family and the little ones ask me grand ma what happen to your teeth ? i can only out of shame say i didn't take good care of them. Please help me have no insurance i can't afford nothing not even the ride get to the dentist, now that's sad

Hello my name is shirley jefferson. I am 56 years old. I know my story is a long shot but I am in dire need of a dental make over. So here is my story I had a daughter who was found dead by a trash can from an over dose of drugs. My son came home from Iraq in 2005. I reside in washington dc. I know this is a long shot but this is my story. i used to be an iv drug user for 20 years but i am 16 years clean now. During those horrible years i got lost in the world of drugs and i wasnt taking care of myself so I didnt brush my teeth like i was suppose to. I wasnt doing much of anything positive. I lost my good government job. I just went to the captain at the washington navy yard and i told him i just couldnt do it any more i didnt want to get fired. so he understood and i just left. But now i have less than 20 teeth. I have only one back tooth that i use to chew my food. My gums bleed and swell as of now anyway. I cant remember smiling ever and to made me so sad i wanted to give my son a coming home party from iraq and didnt because I would have to smile at people so i just didnt do it i have pictures but not smiling in any of them but now that ive found myself. It would be like getting diamonds and pearls if I could just pull a smile on someone. I love to help the homeless because i use to be but a smile is everything even if you dont say a word. so if anybody could help this old girl out i would do back flips some kind of way. Just one tooth or two. thanks for reading.

I have schizophrenia and am trying to recover. I've tried twice to do extensive dental work. Each time my illness has stopped me. Now I'm on disability and have no chance of fixing my teeth. My appearance improvement is very important to recovery with my schizophrenia. Thank you.

I am 26 years old and a mother of 2 handsome boys! Here is my story. In high school I developed an eating disorder, Bulimia, I suffered until I was 21 years old. Through out this my teeth have taken the toll of my disease! I have had so much work done it is not even funny. then I got pregnant at 24 and again at 25 this also has taken a toll on my teeth. I have always brushed and flossed every day but it could never have helped with the damage I was doing to myself! I can not stand to look at myself in the mirror and in the presence of other I try my hardest to hide my teeth. I have lost two back teeth and my front ones are rotted. I am begging for you to choose me

I know this may not work...but i pray to God that it does...
In 2004 I had emergency surgery because I developed a staph infection that turned into flesh eating disease...they told me that if I would not have had the surgery then I would have died in 10 hours...I have a wonderful husband and two great kids...and death was not an option...
Although I am so greatful to be alive...I am left with major deformities...which most of them i can cover up....but my once favorite feature of myself is no longer anything that i enjoy...i was on so many medicines because of the surgery...that i was warned that i would have trouble with my teeth...but i thought "how could that be?"...I never even had a cavity until i was 23 years old..."I had a great smile"...I loved to smile...and that was taken away from me and i want to smile again...i dont want this to depress me and get me down the rest of my life...because i cant get them fixed...I cant smile...they hurt all the time...and i just want my smile back...I could not express my gratitude if i can get some help ...well this would be the best dream come true...
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and i hope to hear from you soon!!

I am 48 and was born under 3 lbs my mom was told I had a calcium deficiency that hit my teeth. I have 3 baby teeth left just lost one in the front bottom last week. I am missing teeth and have the pointy teeth next to my front teeth. On top of that I was told I have an extra bone in the roof of my mouth so I won't get suction for false teeth. I have a mess of fillings and now the teeh are breaking around the fillings. I don't know what to do and can't afford veneers and was told my jaw might be too small for implants even a mini implant which I can't afford either they are over $2k each tooth. I just don't know where to begin. Since the baby tooth I just lost is in the front I now talk with a lisp. HELP!!!!!!

Hi, I want to have a wonderful and warm smile for my elementary school students. My teeth are discolored, I'm starting to look like bugs bunny and I have some teeth missing. I want to be a great role model for my students and show them that when you smile and have a great smile, you will receive all types of positive reactions. I understand that sometimes people get paid to have work done and advertised. With the money I would be able to purchase laptops or Ipads for my young students to use in the classroom. So this will be a win-win for everyone involved. thanks for reading.

hi,my name is Susan and am 24 yrs old,I am a single mother to two amazing boys. I have a really bad smile that is gap toothed and some of the teeth are decaying. I try not to let that stop me smiling because I feel that I have so much to smile about. I just came out of an abusive relationship, where my self esteem was under constant attack and needless to say my bad teeth were made constant fun of,not to mention the physical abuse. I am currently living in a shelter with my sons but it is a huge step towards bettering our lives. I am also starting my second semester in nursing school soon and I just think that having a beautiful smile to go with my new life will be the icing on the cake.

I am a good looking single grandmother and I am unemployed with no money. I believe, if I get my teeth fix -- I will get the job -- not just the interview. In my field, appearance is a plus. I am missing some teeth and I am loosing a front tooth with an over-bite. People use to tell me I had a awesome smile. Not any more. I didn't know so many people were having teeth issues, until I started searching for help. My before and after photos would even amaze you. Thank you for considering me.

WOW! In my urgent cry for help. After reading so many request for the same help, not having Dental insurance or no money to fix your teeth, is as BIG of a issue, as being UNEMPLOYED with no income. I am so sad for our country. And, it seems the older you get -- the worst it gets. This is a great platform of HOPE. Choose wisely.
Thank you for the opportunity to vent.

For the past 20 years I have asked for someone to help me being able to smile. There is nothing like seeing someone smile and you not being able to show your teeth. Having to hold your hand over your mouth, because you have lost teeth or because your teeth are not as healthy as they should be. Your confidence is not where it should be. Your spirit is low. You want help, you have insurance, but that is not enough to cover what you need and you just can't afford at this time to pay for the rest. You don't want to give up..you keep going, go around, go through, but don't give up.. One day maybe..you will be able to smile a bright smile..I will keep praying..

Hi, I have horrible teeth, the ones I have left that is. My teeth hurt all the time. Sometimes, I'll be chewing and a piece of tooth comes out. I don't smile because of this and my children say they don't remember the last time they saw me smile. No, I cry all the time because of my teeth and how they've affected my whole life so negatively. I'm single for 7 years now and will not date because of my teeth. I'm so embarrassed to go out, that I work at home and make little money. I've lost friends because of the embarrassment and since I won't go out anymore. The pain is also physical, not just emotional. I'm in constant pain due to my teeth, I cannot shut my mouth properly which causes pain in my jaw also, and have constant headaches and tooth pain. My life has been ruined due to the shape my teeth are in, yet I cannot a afford to do anything about it since I'm a single mom making very little. It's food on the table or teeth fixed. Problem is, I can barely chew the food on the table anymore. I would be so grateful for a nice smile, it would literally turn my life around. I could get a better job, date and hang out with my friends again. I can dream, right? Please help me and so many others here find a way. This literally affects so much of your life. Good luck to everyone here, I hope we can all find the help we need, as I can sure empathize with you all.

I am 22 years old and have never been able to smile with confidence. I suffer not only from the pain of sensitive and chipped teeth but I have children come up and ask what happened to my smile. The last thing I want is my 2 children asking me the same question when they get old enough. I could never afford a "new smile" so is there any one who could help me? I would love to just once smile and not worry who is judging me because I have a far from perfect smile.

I am 51-years old, and desperate for a confident smile. I work with people every day who have the smiles that I wish I had, and the self confidence of which I am lacking. I also see here on your Postings that my problem teeth are in the same shape , better or worse, than I had catagorized. So, I hope one of us Posting here this month, gets a much needed oral makeover, and a true Blessing from your generous offerings.

Hi I am a 53, one of seven children. Unfortunately, growing up in family of seven was quite difficult for a couple arriving into USA. My parent tried to provide medical care, but unable to afford dental and orthodontic services. Growing up was very painful unable to smile because of my crooked teeth and lack of dental care. On March of 2011 I became employed, unable to afford further dental care for myself. Today, I request assistance because I have birthday and I feel that if there a wish u can grant will be a dental makeover. This will lifted my self-esteem, spirit and gain
new prospective on life.

Hello, I am writing you today about my sister. My sister has been trying to get a job for 3 years now with no luck. Both she and her husband were out of work. Tragedy struck 2 weeks ago, when my sisters husband died of a heart attack. She has no one to help her with her bills. She has some dental issues that if corrected, she might feel better about herself and also be able to land a job. She really needs help!!

First impressions are everything. As child, I worried more about being overweight thank anything else. As an adult I worked really hard to get fit. In my constant pursuit for self-improvement, I can't help but notice that the first people see now when they look at me, is my smile--then my crooked teeth. In addition to being crooked, I have a wicked overbite and great sensitivity to many things. hot, cold, sweet etc. I know much of this stems from dental health, but without insurance it is difficult to find a low cost clinic. Former consultations with dentist have proved that I will need teeth pulled and that it will cost over $3,000 to have the work done. As a full time student and someone working just to keep a roof over their head I rarely have extra money for cosmetic purposes. I hope that I will be considered for this wonderful life changing opportunity.

it sounds like there are many in need of dental help. I am 32 years old and can not smile or laugh anymore. I miss smiling at people and laughing with my mouth open, tired of being worried someone will see my teeth. It is really sad and depressing to live like this. I just need a lot of help with my teeth so I can live my life for my kids and husband again.

I need your help please!!! I am 35 and very concerned about my teeth. I don’t have many left , basically I don’t have any tooth at the back apart from the upper left and they also in bad shape. The ones left at the front are getting rotten or and the upper front are false. I am limited in what I can eat, because I can’t chew my food. It’s very upsetting because I am still so young and the teeth are taking the smiles and laugh away from me. I am a happy person, please help me stay this way!!!

have never been able to smile my whole life. was very sick as a baby and spent a year at a local hospital,had to have emergency surgery,fluid was getting into my lungs and i had nemonia 20+ times. the doctors had to inject me with so much pennicillin that it permanantly stained my teeth. no whiteing can fix this problem. ive been made fun of,looked down upon and embarresed and judged my whole life. i havent been able to get a good job or save enough money to pay to have them fixed. i think im a goodlooking guy but,i cant smile because of the stains on my teeth. my dream and wish before my life is over is to someday smile. i know about college schools and how cheep they can be. i cant even afford to do that. ive even went door to door offering to barter for work to be done with no luck. if anyone can help me it would be life changing for me. thank you

Hi Nicole, Why not you can smile back and it is very easy. There is no doubt the good smile is key to self confidence. You just need to visit any cosmetic dentst which most of the general dentist are and can get your self examined. If your teeth are in good condtion and you have good oral hygiene then you can go for dental office tooth whitening which will enhance your smile and in case you have crooked teeth then also you have to discuss various options like crowns, veneers etc with dentist. If money is constraint then you can try dental school where the treatment is some time free and if not free then definately cheaper.

Hi Michael, the best way forward for dental implants would be to go to an Oral Surgeon or a Periodontist as they are the experts in putting dental implants. Dental implant with restoration with crown can cost you around $3000-$4000 depending on place to place and dentist to dentist. You can get it for even less in NYC may be around $2500. For cheaper option you can try dental school near your home which is definately cheaper than the private dentists. Most of dental plans donot cover dental implants and for financing you can take CareCredit.

I have been a good wife and stepmother to four children for seven years and my marriage in ending. I put everyone before myself, including my image. I would love to be beautiful again so that I can have the confidence in myself to be able to love myself again. I know that having perfect teeth, which has been my lifelong dream, will help to facilitate my healing process. I am praying for a miracle. Maybe I will be heard.

Melissa you need cosmetic dentist who will do smile makeover after examination of your teeth. The teeth which cannot be restored will be pulled out and will have to be replaced with implants or fixed bridges and teeth which can be restored but decayed will be root canal treated and after that crowns or veneers will be required. If there are gaps in front teeth, that can be filled either with composite builtups or the veneers can be given. All this is going to cost you lot of money and you can try dental school near your home where treatment is usually cheaper or you can look for free dental treatment camps organised by dental offices. You have to browse ada.org for their annoucements.

Hi Sundance, You shouldnot worry. Your smile can be restored by a cosmetic dentist but you have to really spend money. Cosmetic treatments are costly affair. The teeth are restored with combination of composite fillings, veneers, dental crowns, deep cleaning and teeth whitening and if the teeth are crowed then even the adults can go braces treatment. But as I told you above, all these treatments are costly and many of the cosmetic dental procedures like veneers, tooth whitening etc are not covered in dental insurance. However dental crowns, composite filling, deep scaling are covered in insurance. If you have affordability issue then you can try some dental school near your home. Dental schools are always cheaper than the private dentists and if luck you may get free makeover as dental students need patients for their assignments. So donot worry and go ahead and schedule an appointment with a cosmetic dentist and get exam and xay done. You will be given treatment plan with treatment estimate and copay and insurance coverage. Dentist office can also guide you about various financing options like CareCredit available where you can pay your treatment cost in easy instalments over a time.

i need help more than i can afford to do for myself, my teeth have kept me from family pictures,from kissing my husband,and from talking to people that might see them. I miss being able to smile and i miss being in pictures with my children our photo album looks like they never had a mother at all. I am 28 years old and have spent 18 years hiding whats inside my mouth from the world an my family. Please help me end this pain and be able to eat in public an smile for a picture, this would let me hold my head up an not feel so embarrassed anymore. Thank you for the chance of a life time,

If I could win a smile makeover it would be a dream come true. I dont smile anymore I am too embarrased. It has been hard to find jobs because of it. My front top teeth have deteriated to nubs. It all started from some bad dental work when I was 19, that caused a gap in my front teeth and went from there. My 4 year old daughter always asks me why my teeth arent pretty anymore and I just want to cry, what do I tell her. I would be so grateful for a new smile. thank u. Melissa Phelps

Please help me fix my teeth. I am 52 and recently been laid off from my job as a waitress. I am finding it really difficult to get a job, especially as waitress with constant contact with general public. People use to say I had a beautiful smile, now my hand is over my mouth when I smile. I had bridges since I was 17 but as I got older they fell out and complicated the alignment since then cuz of missing teeth. Loosing teeth now, the only thing I eat cuz of pain is only soft foods. Continuous pain. Missing teeth and spaces between others. Can you please help me?

Michele you just need to go to dentist, who will take care of your teeth. If you have decayed teeth then they can be restored with composite dental filling or veneers and if they are decayed to an extent that they need pullout then they can be replaced by implants or fixed bridges. After getting dental treatment you will be able to eat properly and smile confidently. So go ahead and get the dental treatment.

It is not big deal. Get the decayed teeth filled with composite tooth colored fillings and get the missing teeth replaced with fixed dental bridge or dental implants. These days you have no dearth of cosmetic dentists who are expert in what you need.

My husband wants me to smile like I use to and I can't. This is from having decayed and missing teeth. My kids sometimes are embarrassed by them. Please please help me and others.

Please consider a new mouth for my sister. Her teeth have had many years of neglect due to poor health, lack of access to dental care beyond a conventional toothbrush and the teeth are all but fallen out. The only thing left are nubs where the teeth are broken off and it is very difficult for her to eat properly.
That is not even to mention the pain she experiences on a daily basis from presumed tooth infection. My sister would be healthier, smile more, more confident and make a better presentation when applying for work. She needs a boost for her spirits and I would like to enter her to win a smile makeover! Please...Please!!!
My sister ultimately needs a full extraction and full upper and lower dentures to accomplish the smile and confidence she deserves.

I have been to the dentist only twice in my 30 years of life, my teeth are not just crooked. My molars are bare dents inside my mouth they are broken and cause me intense pain daily, I have pieces of them come out on a regular basis. I spit blood sometimes. My front tooth was halfway replaced when I was 12 and it is falling to pieces, and it makes me look like a drug addict. I run a business and I want people to take me serious. I am highly concerned for my helath due to this I do not want to die because of a smile of falling apart teeth
