Re: Is there a support group for young people getting dentures?

I am 42 and need dentures as well. I am not happy about this. I have several missing teeth now in front due to not having the money to get my teeth fixed. No insurance. Low income. So whenever one is infected the free clinic pulls them. I look stupid, I avoid people, I hate feeling this way. I hope there is a support group for us. I can't find one. I will only be able to get the upper dentures done at first due to the cost. I will be borrowing money. My ex owes me over 11,000 but I'll never see it. I've been waiting over 5 years for it and nothing.

I'm scared to death. I have heard so many horror stories about dentures. And to think I need them at such a young age it makes me want to just die. I already have low self esteem. People wonder why I don't smile or talk much, I don't want them to see me. Having missing teeth in front is embarrassing. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

My fiancé is so understanding and loving. He doesn't care what I look like, or so he says. I know I look bad. I don't know why he stays with me. I feel so ugly.

So if you were able to find a support group please message me and let me know... Thanks so much... Tweet
