This is my first post too. I also need a lot of dental work. I have no had any work done in about 28 years and that was a temp filling to replace one I had lost. I have since then lost that and also more old fillings. I'm 51 and got most of my filling when I was about 12 or 13. I did go to the dentist a few years ago for free xrays and was told I had a lot of work to be done. That scared me away because we have no dental insurance. I know I need to do something because I also have osteoporsis and my Dr wants me to take fosomax or something on that line and I have read that it is not a good idea to have dental work done if on the medication so I have not taken any. ( Not sure if I want to take it anyway)I really don't want to loose my teeth but at this rate I probably will.
