We're attempting to turn back the clock on several years of neglect and fight some horrible teeth genes. While I always made sure my children found their way to the dentist at least once a year, there was no money for me to do the same. We didn't have dental insurance and made too much money to qualify for dental schools, reduced or free programs. About three years ago I took a blow to the mouth which broke one of my teeth in the front and chipped some the back ones. I went to the dentist right after it happened, but simply couldn't afford the $1,000+ the dentist wanted to repair the damage. Although it was accidental, medical insurance wouldn't pay for having the teeth rebuilt. So... I've been putting money back since then and now have enough to get the work done.

The thing I'm most looking forward to is laughing and smiling without feeling like everyone is being grossed out by the broken tooth. Guilt free smiling... it's gonna be great.
