Here's the deal. There's this rope swing on a tree near our house and we swing out really far and land in a big pile of leaves. I was on the rope swing and when I came off, I landed on my sister who was in the leaves. My mouth hit her knee and messed up my teeth pretty bad. A couple were knocked out and some were broken. My mom took me to the dentist on Monday and I ended up having the cracked and broken teeth pulled out. So now my top 6 front teeth are gone. I had my molars pulled out a couple years ago cuz they were rotten and it was gonna cost too much to get them fixed. I only have 3 top teeth left, so would it be better to just get them pulled out too? My bottom front teeth are loose too and the dentist isn't sure how they're gonna be. Like he don't know yet if they'll be ok or if I'll lose them too eventually. I'm 14, so am I too young to get fake teeth? Or will I just have to have no teeth like my mom? Will guys still look at me?
How much do fake teeth cost?
Tell your parents that their Homeowners Insurance may cover the cost to replace your teeth.
You only have 3 teeth left? Save them if you can, you can use them as 'anchor' teeth if'/when you get partials.
When you get older, you can have something more permanent made...
Best of luck to you~
Reply:You poor thing. What a terrible accident, I'm so sorry.
You are not too young to get false teeth.
A bridge made of porcelain teeth is VERY expensive, but you may be able to get a payment plan from a dentist on false teeth, that include a full set of upper teeth made of plastic or a resin material. They may pull the rest of the teeth, or they may keep them and make a full partial and the existing teeth can create suction or an anchor (so to speak) to keep the teeth in better.
If you don't have dental insurance, you may want to try calling the closest dental school and supervised students can make the teeth for you at a very low cost.
Good luck to you!
Reply:aww, i'm so sorry to hear about that! well yeah the girl who answered first pretty much covered it, but i feel so bad for you! luckily, no one will probably be able to tell you even have false teeth..heck my 80 year old grandparents had them and i had no idea they did until after they told me..and yes..guys will still look at you...i dont think dentures and those "lumineers" that all the famous people get have too much difference anyway.
good luck! =]
Reply:I had all of mine pulled out when I turned 18 and it's not so bad with no teeth. If I was you I'd just get rid of the rest too. If they're not that good you'll only have to have them pulled later on. It's not like 3 teeth are really gonna do you any good. I'd rather have no teeth like I have now than just a few here and there. Besides, if you have them all out you can get fake teeth to look however you want if to. I'm not sure how much they cost tho cuz I still have just gums.
Reply:I lost my front teeth too when I was really young from a bicycle accident. I ended up just having the rest pulled and getting a full set of false teeth at 15 because the teeth I had left weren't that great and it was cheaper to just pull them all and get all false teeth. I've never been sorry I decided to just go all the way even tho when I take them out I have no teeth at all. Yes guys will still look at you and want you if you're a nice person. If you're a B**#^%26amp; it don't matter what you look like guys will still steer clear of you. I got all new teeth for like $600.00 and they're ok. Not great but ok. BTW, some guys think being able to take your teeth out is a big plus.
