Well, now it appears as if my front tooth is going to be an issue. [View all]

I need a root canal, or something to repair this front tooth. It is now starting to hurt all of the time.

I guess I will have to just get them all removed now. I cannot afford to do anything about it other than remove it. I am down almost half of my teeth as it is. I got partial dentures a while back but I have lost too many teeth since then and they are now useless because they don't fit right. I cannot afford to get implants. I cannot afford to get dentures. I cannot afford to get them all removed, but at least that price will only have to be paid one time.

I don't have much longer anyway. Might as well try to lessen the impact of my existence on my husband by forgetting about trying to address my health issues and let nature take its course. We are looking at being homeless anyway because I am nothing but a lump of useless flesh with no value whatsoever. Why be a bigger burden by trying to extend a failure of a life?

I have pliers in my garage. Those will have to do I guess.
