First, you will have to OWN your problem....that means understanding you are mostly the cause of your dental issue and only then will you be able to get it under control.Second, don't expect someone else to pay for your problem, dental discount plans can make certain procedures less costly but everything has a cost. It is always cheapest to NOT need a procedure. Third, You need to identify what you are putting into your mouth that is turning your teeth black and stop doing destructive things. You will have more problems without changing your consumption habits, even denture teeth can turn black.Fourth, If you are chipping your front teeth, you may be bruxing your teeth while you sleep and you should have a sleep test to rule out a sleep breathing issue.Fifth, stay out of dentures as much as you can....they do not call "denture sufferers" this term for no reason. It can lead to a lifetime of misery but...occasionally, some patients do well, in 25 years, I have yet to be able to guess which patient will do well and which one will not but it is usually more of a mental issue and a patient that is determined with a positive attitude usually does best. One that goes into a denture because they feel forced into it due to finances or impatience with restoring years of dental damage (looking for the quick fix) are the patients that will not be happy wearing a denture.Lastly, Masshealth.com, or you can call them and it seems their coverage can vary greatly thru their interaction with ObamaCare and if you are still a student or not, age, income etc. It is never simple when the government gets involved with anything, worse with your health. Begin by doing what you can do today, at home, with your diet and hygiene. Brush too much (5x+ a day), buy a WaterPik and use at least before you go to bed. Do MORE. Next do your homework and contact MassHealth directly, you are their customer, they should be there to answer your questions and help guide you with your coverage. Then find a dentist, word of mouth referrals can be valuable. Good luck, you can do this!
