My hero which also doubles as my partner in life, needs dental work very urgently but cannot afford it. He is 42 years old and has not brushed his teeth in the 5 years I have been with him. In his early 20's he had an abcess tooth that he went to have work done on only to wake up 2 weeks later from the coma that apparently the poisons set him in to. As well as a coma, he had lock jaw and the dentist tried to pry his jaw open. Anyway, it hurt so badly to brush his teeth so he has not in 20 years. He wipes them and washes with mouthwash, but I am sure he now has a gum infection. He has no insurance and being a single white male there are no resources except for emergency extraction services, but this is only for 1 tooth at a time that is obviously in need of extraction. He needs 12 uppers pulled and a plate. He actually pulled out one of his front teeth by wiggleing it (it was bending as he tried to eat). He does have a job, he is a breakfast cook at a small cafe, although insurance is not provided and we cannot afford to buy it. I want so badley to find him help as he helped me and my son's 5 years ago. I have 2 teens sons and I was a meth addict, living in a filthy house, being a lousy "mother" and heading towards disaster fast. My hero, with all the bagage and risks involved, pulled us out of that life and provided us with a new life. My oldest son who was in juvy at the time is now a productive adult whom stays out of trouble and my youngest whom was placed in a behavioral glass because he refused to do any work is now an honor roll student that has a resume profile better than most people at the age of 30. I work from home but I only make enough money to help make ends meet. I work from home because as my hero taught me, kids do need the stabilty and presence of an adult. If there is any help available, please, please point me in the right direction. I have surfed the web and made so many phone calls and I do not know where else to turn.
