I am considering removing my own teeth and need some possible resources

[Black Jesus]

Well my teeth have gotten to the point that I am in horrible pain everyday. I made it to a dentist and he said I would have to pretty much remove all of them.

Unfortunatley I dont have dental coverage to do this, and the local dental school cannot do it either. I am on waiting lists but I have been on the free dental clinic waiting list for several months now. I have like no money right now as I am sans work and insurance.

Im trying to get work but unfortunately I cannot. I am on medicaid but medicaid only pays for dentures and the lowest figure of cost I ahve found is 4 thousand dollars money which I do not have at all.

My teeh actually wer perfect 3 years ago then I had successive major surgery after major surgery and it all went ot hell, All quadrants are broken etc this is due to a very powerful antibiotic versal ver something or another it eats away at you and i was already anemic so it all went ot hell..


I also , several thousand dollars in cred card debt. So I have no credit to go to a dentist. Medicaid will pay for dentures, but unfortunately they will not pay for any removal and since removal is the amin cost I am pretty much screwed. I am on 4 waiting list for free dental the headaches and migraines are driving me insane. I cnat think concentrat unless I am under a massive amount of painkillers. Its bad but if only I could have gotten in sooner it would nto be this bad. I am sign up for every free dental program in louisiana and the earliest one is 9 months for X RAYS then another 9 months till I actuall see the dentist.


Here is my plan,

Get a video camera.
Take a kissload of painkillers.

Cut my teeth out.

Drive to hospital for stitches then go and get dentures.

Really I am just sick of it . I take massive amounts of painkillers all day long because I have constant ache from them. I cnat eat cold food, I cant eat crunchy food. I cant smile , mouth bleeds cosntantly. I think mainly the massive headaches and jaw pain plus occasionaly they get infected my mouth swells and i run fever for sever days.

Anyway I think pulling all my teeth out on camera and then mailing them off to people would be kind of coo at least mak a nice statement about healthcare for the poor.


This is what I need.

Ive found some good sources of dnetal equipment. The thing is I cant seem to find the actual instructional medical manuals on removal of teeth.

Anyway know of any good online book sellers that sell these?

When I was a kid my Dad's Roommate tried this with a pair of pliers and we come home to him passed out with his face hanging in the toilet.

For about half the cost (or even more) you could go to another country that has much cheaper dental care --Mexico, Hungary, Slovakia..... --Your 4k price tag might end up as low as 1k, including cost of the trip.

Sounds like a good way to bleed out and die.

Find a friend with dental insurance and get a fake id with their name.

Sell your pain killers on the corner. Profit.

don't be a fool.
get an infection in your jaw, travels to your brain and you're dead

Seems like a good idea make sure to stream the video camera

[ymw]

Bust your mouth on something and go to the ER. They can't deny treatment and they can't squeeze money out of no where after.

I hear being curb stomped is a good way to lose your teeth

You have a couple of issues none of which home surgery are going to remedy. First sounds like your teeth are broken down to the jawbone/below the gum line and you aren't going to just yank them out at this point they need to be cut out. Second the pain you are going through is from infection most likely and so once you get that under control (emergency room trip will get you antibiotics) then the pain will go away.

People used to die all the time from tooth ailments it is not something you want to screw around with. I know someone whose tooth abscessed and long story short the infection/clot traveled was lodge in his heart and ate away one of his heart valves if I have the story correct. He now has an artificial heart valve or some such.

Have you looked for any other dental schools in a different city there in Louisiana? You may have to travel to get this taken care of free/cheap. I have heard of people going to jail to get dental work done but that is pretty extreme. You might could look to other charities or churches for help.

[Barkingturtle]

Remove your head before the infection spreads, imo.

[Alunova]

Beg for change to have it done in front of a dental surgeon office until he does the extraction for free just to get rid of you.

[skorge]

just go in there like you have money and then when they bill you, dont pay...end of thread

Go ask an attorney about the whole "drugs made my teeth go to shit" thing and see what he/she says, imo.

[Gaffin Deeppockets]

Try carecredit (google) helped me out for sure getting mine fixed, I was in similiar situation for a bit they saved my ass. Id recommend not pulling yourself, it will fucking hurt so bad those painkillers wont do shit. Start rinsing your mouth with warm salty water twice every 2-4 hrs and find someone with amoxicillan antibiotic meds to kill some of the infection or go to the ER. Get that shit billed or somethin.

Send spam to Bill Gates, tell him you where born in Africa with Aids, and now you need help with your teeth, im sure he will pay for it and then some.

[Infectious]

Dude... Wait for it to get infected, go to er. Then apply for charity care. Every hospital has a dentist on staff or will call one in. Once he gets in and your approved for charity care, he will pull them all and milk the shit out the hospital. I live in nj, but I have 2 plates, 6 screws in my jaw done for free. If its infected and abcessed they cant turn you away. God damn you people need to take advantage of this free money before the mexicans use it all up to have babies.

[Infectious]

Ohh and not to scare you from doing this... I got the plate cause I had an abcess. They called a dentist in and he broke my jaw pulling the tooth out( wisdom tooth that should have been chipped it). But I got the tooth pulled and 2 nice titanium plates for free.

[formallydickman]

jesus christ this is pathetic

[citizen1080]

Judging by the lack of a followup post by OP he may have gone ahead and did it. Seems like this would be the appropriate time to start a pool.

Death would be more likely to happen if he passed out after a few and inhaled blood.

[Infectious]

Pull one tooth, I would possibly try while drunk. Pull two your crazy. Try and pull all your teeth? From bleeding, pain and infection you would probably die.

[bubur]

do not pull your teeth without supervision. this is = cutting your wrists. send emails/phone calls to schools, professors, people training to do dental FIRST. tell them Everything.

consider cutting your teeth akin to suicide. I understand you are probably already considering this option but please imagine a world in which it may be remedied within 6 months. you will have to pay but they will fix it. consider taking a loan and getting a job at mcdonalds

think this way: loans will make you a slave but cutting your own teeth will make you dead. you can always die later

[bubur]

let me reiterate. do not self medicate. your problems will increase

[Clark]

How do peoples teeth get as bad as these examples? (meth, alcoholism?) Goodness sakes.

[Smedy]

Naez, i pray for you every night bro, hope all is fine in meth lands

Get a friend to curb you, but make sure it isn't a white guy or they'll charge him with a hate crime.

I highly recommend Spain, they don't care if you're a citizen or not. I broke my jaw while living with my aunt in Seville, and got free hospital care without having to show any kind of document whatsoever.

Dental care is provided, and for people whose teeth are too bad to fix get free extractions, again, regardless of citizenship.

Stay away from refined sugary foods. Don't eat snack foods - they're notorious for that. They literally kill the teeth because not only do they pump loads of sugar into your mouth but they cause major problems to the body when metabolised. If you eat lots of carbs (starchy foods: potatos/noodles/bread/rice/oatmeal/chips/cereal/grains/etc), those are almost just as bad after a few hours of fermenting. Bottom line, brush your teeth after every meal and/or gargle with baking soda + salt for a few minutes. Even trace amounts of sugars will harm the teeth. You gotta make it a habit to brush or at least wash out the mouth after you eat carb-ish foods.

(warning: i've read that brushing immediatley after eating sugar-rich foods actually harms them. so i humbly suggest that you gargle instead with some salt water. brush them after about 45 minutes. why is this so? if i recall right the reason is that the enamel is vulnerable to brushing temporarily.)

Make sure you have a balanced diet. (i know it ain't cheap) Get a low-dose multi-vitamin (supply like 30% of DV). Reason I suggest low dose is that there're various connectiosn that suggest high doses (ex: 100% DV) are not good. It all boils down to a balanced diet and eating enough to get full nutrition.

Look at the DASH diet for a balanced diet. In popular polls among professionals, it's near the top.

You need to get on a dental plan. Dentists really can save your life. As others have mentioned, infections can spread and things can get into bloodstream and clogged in your heart or your brain, resulting in death. In fact, this is the major reason that periodontal disease limits the average lifespan by 20%.

FLOSS! I can't honestly state how many professionals have said this.

One last thing, I do not know what to think of this, but take a look:

What he's saying is that oranges and lemons and vinegar have an effect on the teeth that cleans them. Conventional destistry says that any acids are bad for the teeth. And this is what I believe even now. Still, I wanted to bring up this link. In hindsight, I've eaten a lot of lemons lately for the vitamin C and phytonutrients. I had no idea that they might help teeth. Still, it could be that this link is erroneous and that citric acid, as any acid, is bad for the teeth. Consider it just an interesting link, but not definitive enough to decide.
