I am all for being proactive...
My 3 kids have had their immunizations from the time they were little and they are now 19, 17 and 14. But most of the vaccines they got when they were small in the 80s and 90s had been around a long time and the doctors were familiar with side effects. Until they know for certain what effects Gardasil has, it's not going to fly at my house.

I've tried just about everything throughout my adult life, and I finally found what works for me! Clean & Clear cooling toner with glycolic acid. I use it at night after I cleanse. It's a lot cheaper than Proactiv but it did the trick for me.

Love it.

Doesn't work like they said on TV, not by a long shot. Not to mention I was dumb enough to buy it while out of town at a mall kiosk who SAID i could return after 30 days no questions asked even in my out of state residence...well when 30 days was up I found out you have to return it at the place you purchased it so $80 down the tubes. I bet I could have received a very nice facial/spa day for that price!
Oh, I really like Proactive. nm

Your choices are to either be proactive and do something...
positive about your situation, which IMHO is to leave this mess or continue to live this sorry life and whine about it..in that case you are not a victim but an enabler and a contributor. Would you want your daughter to live like this? Would you want your son to treat his wife like this?
some may prefer to be more proactive.

Get the dentures, but be proactive about the fit and look.
My MIL had horrible teeth and refused to address the problem. She was in constant pain, her gums were bleeding, her lips swollen, and her breath was unbearable. When she finally called me one day, she was weeping from the pain. I was able to bet an immediate appointment with our dentist, who happens to be a family member. He had seen her for years at family events and watched her suffer through meals, etc. When I brought her in, he was almost afraid to touch her. He said he had never seen such a bad state of a mouth before in anyone living or dead. (He works for the health department from time to time identifying bodies from dental records.) She was truly a wreck. The infection she had had in her mouth could easily have spread to her organs, and she has known valve issues.
After quite a long process of extraction, healing, and fitting, she now has new dentures. She used to smile and show black teeth through swollen lips. Her face is completely different now that the swelling is gone. She no longer has bad breath, and she can eat anything she wants. She did have a very difficult time with fitting her dentures because of the damage done to her jaws by the infection. As that healed and bone grew back, she needed to have the dentures adjusted, and I believe completely replaced at one point. At first, she didn't want to return when the fit was not perfect, but we all pushed her to do so, and now she is glad we did.
You're teeth will not get better on their own. It sounds as if you have a complicated dental history, so it may take some time to get dentures that fit well. Give yourself some time and communicate with your dentist.
Good luck! I know you must feel miserable. I hope this improves for you soon.
I know if SHE doesnt get proactive and take charge

I'm glad you reminded me of Proactive. I'll never buy that again, either.
It did absolutely nothing for my son's acne. The only thing that actually did help was a very good dermatologist, and she had nothing nice to say about Proactiv. It's overpriced and just doesn't work for most people who use it.
