Description
I’ve had bad teeth since I was a child. They’ve been filled, broken and fallen out. Now I’m having major problems with my lower jaw. My husband passed away last year; I’m currently looking for work and am paying for two places to live until I can sell the house, which is now worth less than the mortgage. I can’t take out a bank loan or take on any more expenses. I have an 8-year-old daughter.
We previously took out a loan for implants, so my upper jaw has been replaced. I wasn’t allowed to have any more implants under the rules of the Social Insurance Agency. So the fillings that were done broke down quickly. Now I’m afraid of getting ill as I’m missing teeth and food debris is difficult to remove. It’s started to ache and tastes bad in my mouth as it becomes inflamed and bleeds. I see this as a cry for help, as we have so many important things to focus on in our new life without a husband/father.
