Here is my sad story. First I think God is getting me for bragging on how good I have been paying down the debt and he has decided to give me a whipping.


First about three weeks or so ago, I was eating a taco chip and a sharp point of the chick stabbed my upper gum. It got all red and swelled up. I didn't want to run up a big dentist bill so I just kept washing my mouth out with salt water. But the upper gum didn't get any better. Just got more red and started to really hurt. I told Raymond I better get to the dentist.

Oh man! So sorry for all your dental problems. I can totally relate as I have already had 3 root canals in my 30 years of life. I had to fully pay for 1, pay half for another and the 3rd was payed for (I want that dental insurance back!!!)I don't know what to tell you. I'd probably go for the cheapest way. Would the 2,000 dollars allow you to eat regularly?

Oh Mary Anne. I am so sorry to hear this. Back pain and tooth pain is the worst. I don't have much of a recommendation as to what you should do as I am not an expert in this area. Just know that I am thinking of you. And you don't have to put your ticker up, just leave it and when you can start paying again you will see it go down.

Good luck.

First I want to thank everyone for the good thoughts.


I went to see the implant dentist today and we talked His price for a full upper plate with part of the pallet cut out and implants was 5400.00 Raymond and I talked and we agreed to go for it since my dentist did not offer anything but full pallet plates. This is my only change to talk for what ever time I can.


Then I came home and called my dentist to say she was not pleased would be pretty on

Sorry to butt in here, I was lurking around reading up on the mortgage stuff and stumbled on your post.

No I don't think that homeowners would take care of a gum infection at all.


But thanks for the thoughbt.
