I have a question about what to do with my teeth and what are my options?

my teeth started to break and chip off while i was pregnant with my 4th child. i was told it could be from lack of calcium at the time i was pregnant cause i was got opregnant 4 times so close together. but i do admit i am a good brusher but i usually scrub the hell out of my teeth too, and my gums. i dont floss its not my thing. but i brush my teeth about 5 times a day. i havent been to a dentist for a while. i know i need to but money is my problem though. and my teeth have been through a lot and now i really do wish i went to the dentist but i never had the money to go. my mom always tells me if it doesnt hurt leave it alone when i first started having chipped teeth. my front teeth are fine they are not broken or chipped at all. but anyways should i get dentures or fake teeth. i am planning on going to a dentist and get a clear picture on what to fix to my satisfaction and good for my health. i really do not want to get all my teeth pulled for complete dentures. advice please!

Well i dont know much about teeth, and i only have one child, but brushing them so much could cause the enamel to come off your teeth, so does eating anything sour like lemons or limes. You should def go to a dentist for advice, cause unless there are some dentists on yahoo answers i dont think you are going to get a very good answer.

Reply:You need to go see the dentist money or not and get your teeth checked. You also need to see to it that all 4 of your kids see the dentist every 6 months. This remark is not meant to be cruel but you should be able to provide for all of the kids you have. I know accidents aka accidental pregnancies happen but do get each and every one of you in to see the dentist ASAP and then when you leave schedule your next 6 month appointment for ALL of you before you leave the dentist office. You do need to floss so get yourself a reach handle flosser and start using it. Depending on the age of the kids get them one too if they can handle it.
Reply:I feel what you are going through. I'm lucky to have great teeth, but I myself haven't been to the dentist in 3 years. I just don't have the money. People who say you need to go money or not, need to understand that a lot of people these days don't have dental insurance. A lot of companies don't provide it now. My dentist wanted to take out my silver fillings and replace them with the white ones and I just laughed at him. Yes I realize taking care of your teeth is important, but when you don't have the money, what are you suppose to do. Maybe if dental offices would have some kind of payment plan, people would go more often, but where I live, they want all the money right then and there, and that's just impossible for me. I hope you find a solution to your problem. :)
