Desperate, need guidance

[gregtenne]

I'll keep it short as possible.

I've had a very rough life, especially the last few years. No drugs, just rough. I've also had really bad bruxism since I was a kid. I tried mouth guards, and I would take them out as soon as I fell asleep. Nothing worked. It continued to come and go, but it's been extremely bad the last few years due to a divorce and losing everything. I've managed to keep my head just above the water, but not much else.

My bruxism finally broke my back molars about two years ago. I treated the ongoing pain with what I could, mainly controlling the pain, inflammation, and any infections with the use of raw garlic. However, the rest of my teeth have suffered as a result of my molars breaking. A few months ago I fell and hit the top part of my mouth. It wasn't a massive blow, but it was enough to break one of the top side front teeth completely out. I've been using thermoplastic beads to craft a temporary replacement as needed.

Bottom line, I don't have money, insurance, or charity to get work done in any capacity. I currently live in Texas. Is there any direction that anyone here could give me? Something to look into?
