I wanted to share a story with everyone that's willing to listen. I will try to spare you too much details however if you do have questions feel free to ask.
When I was about 15 years old I was hanging out at my dads with one of my friends. We got into an argument over something a lot less than important. It was only an argument and lacked any sort of physical altercation. I asked him to leave and on his way out he nearly ripped my dads door off the hinges. I at this point became more upset because I felt as if my dads house was disrespected. I ran out of the door after him. Before I could even get a word in he turned around and servered me with one good punch right to the mouth.
I know what you must be thinking, you don't want to hear about a fight. Well this was no fight. After he landed his one punch he turned and ran away.
This left me 15 years old with a missing front tooth. I bet you can imagine the wonders this did for my self esteem. Yes I held a grudge for an extended period of time. I walked around most places with my head to the ground; and the worst of it for me is that I make music and perform. It was very difficult to face crowds of hundreds of people staring back at me.
I didn't let this stop me. I continued writing my music and eventually began performing again. I have since let go of the grudge. I know this may sound crazy to a lot of people but I don't only talk to this person on a day to day basis. We not only work together but we are best of friends!
I don't expect that'll I'll be able to turn around after this post and get my surgery done. However my tooth is the first thing one my Steemit purchase list.
If you have a dental school/medical school near you, they will usually do it for free for the practice. Also, some dentist do free dental through the dental department at the Health Department. I used to volunteer as a dental assistant while going through nursing school.There are a lot of different avenues! Have you checked them all out?
I haven't check them out. I actually never thought about that. Thanks!
If you need any more ideas, let me know!
Okay thank you.
this is solid info, I have a tooth that had to be pulled and I didn't have enough money to have another tooth to be put in. I'm calling dental schools tomorrow. Don't know why I never thought of this. Also, I hope all the bes to ray, man I hope you hit your goal. I know what it's like brother.
Don't discount the fact that there are doctors that teach these students (they are private practice) and they take on a few patients a year to teach them. Ask you local dentist or health department.
It's hard not to have good enough dental coverage and even those who do often don't have enough to bring this kind of procedure within their budget. Here's an upvote and a follow in the hopes you get your million dollar smile! Best of luck, friend.
I know what you mean, i think the procedure starts at around $2500 and that's for 1 tooth.
Thanks for the upvote and follow!
Damn, maffia insurance companies...
goodluck with it
I know right, hooefully it doesn't cost me an arm just to get my tooth back.
Thank you

They can do it much cheaper here in the Czech Republic.
Yeah but the trip out there might cost even more lol
Brooo, i got the same missing tooth on my side, I need to get it done.. I have one of those temp caps on haha
I had a partial for like one week and i lost it lol
Yeah, those were like $400. I need to do a post also, shits like $5k for the really good one porcelain crown hahaha
Yeah it's not cheap. I just have to keep a tight lock on my bank account until i get there.
Have my 20 cents and keep smiling bro!
I went through this myself; I know how it is and what it can do to your self esteem and social life.
I couldn't/can't afford the implant either, but I was able to get a denture as a temporary solution and it will have to do until then!
Thanks for the upvote!
I had a partial, but not for long. I lost very quickly.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you can get a implant eventually. Pricey but worth it I must say.
I hope so too. I think it makes for a better first impression.
I have full confidence you'll get there. Hope steem can help you.
I admire your courage. Beautiful story and I am sure it has a happy ending. :)
Thank you, i'm it will too!
You'll get there soon enough! I'm glad you didn't let the tooth deny you from making music and performing still even if it was tough at first! I hope this post helps accelerate the progress towards getting it fixed and I hope you keep us updated!!
It was hard at first but I got past it. I do plan to keep everyone updated.
Thank you
By the way, in Russia, the absence of anterior tooth can become even a chip, something that distinguishes the singer among others.
I didn't know that, very interesting.
Keep steeming and I'm sure you'll get it done sooner rather than later.
Will do, i like the sound of sooner!
Sure hope so, mate! :)
I hope you smile again 😀
I wont ever stop smiling again!
