I have chronic, painful dental problems. In the last 8 years alone I’ve had at least 50 fillings, 4 extractions, 2 caps, 8 root canals and I’m still in an immense amount of pain. I’m in severe debt because I have had to charge these treatments which have amounted to more than $20,000 in just the last 2 years alone. I have begged dentists to simply remove my teeth but almost all insisted that they could and should be “saved”. I’m 27 years old and still have a lifetime of this ahead of me. ALL of my root canals are painful, after last years procedures, leaving me with a whole side of my mouth I can’t use. Is it really that crazy to ask to have these teeth removed? I can’t find relief– medically and especially not financially. I can no longer afford to have anything done to my teeth and am hoping that someone can help with advice.
