Having a panic attack.

So I’m a stay at home mom, and my teeth are awful. I take care of them, brush twice a day, floss every day... but they’re literally rotting out of my head. I think it has a lot to do with having HG with my pregnancies, the constant vomiting and stomach acid just didn’t do my teeth any good. About 2 years ago, I went to the dentist trying to get my wisdom teeth removed because they were killing me. It was $1400, but we didn’t have the money so we applied for care credit. They only gave us a credit line of 800, so we figured we’d get two of them removed and then pay the little extra and get the other two removed when they started to become painful. However, the dentist case back and informed me that I needed 7,000 dollars worth of dental work. A root canal, about 11 fillings, the wisdom teeth removal which became more expensive because they were impacted. I was crushed. I stay home with my kids because I can’t afford to put them in daycare. My husband works his ass off to be able to afford our bills, but we have no extra money. I ignored my teeth and went on with my life, cancelling the care credit before it could charge us the annual fee. But the past week, my teeth have been killing me. I can’t eat sweets, I can’t drink or eat anything cold. I’m honestly terrified all of my teeth are going to fall out. And it kills me because I’m so diligent about keeping up with their care- flossing and brushing like a maniac. My mom says it’s genetics. I don’t know what to do. I can’t afford $7,000 worth of work done- possibly more. Even if I got dental insurance, I’d still be paying a ton out of pocket.

I’ve been working towards getting my real estate license so I can try to make money but I don’t take my state exam for another week. And then it’s $2,000 just to start up. All this money is stressing me the heck out.

Does anybody know a solution? Maybe a way to find someone cheaper? I don’t qualify for Medicaid. We have to pay for our kids health insurance because we don’t qualify for state benefits.
