I'm on Medicaid and receive disability. I had oral cancer in 2010, all my teeth broken off. Will Medicaid pay for dentures?

I'm sorry I have no picture, but I only have 2 upper teeth, which are loose and broken, about to fall out. I can't eat anything but soup, and am so embarrassed I don't go out anywhere. I Avoid class reunions, company, I have a hard time maintaining weight. I have been scared of the oral surgery, even after all I went through, it scared me to death (not literally).
