My name is Celina Hernandez and im 21 years old. I think of myself as a hard working individual. I've been working since i was 16 at a vetenary hospital as a vet assistant until just recently. Due to some difficulty with stress and dealing with the pain of feeling my teeth literaly disinagrating in my mouth. Although i had a good paying job that provided me with basic health care, getting by was a struggle. However, they did not offer any dental care which i just happen to be in desperate need of. Growing up i had alot of stomach problems that were never taken care of because of disbelief. In return i always had acid reflex and would through up almost every day. Being as young as i was i didnt realize that all that acid was not very good for my teeth and that it was basically taking all the enamel away. I never would of thought my teeth would of gotten this bad in just a year span. On top of my teeth being so brittle, my wisdom teeth are growing in and it just really puts the icing on the cake. I can no longer tolerate the pain. There is absolutely no room for them to grow in. My lower jaw feels as if it is being torn from my upper jaw. As weird as that might sound its the only way that i can describe it so it is known how severe it truely is. It depresses me that i have the teeth of an elderly person and i am no where near in age. It scares me because i feel that with each day that goes by the worse they get and the less my chances are in saving them. All i want is to be free of pain and able to smile without feeling self concous and so i can eat all my favorite foods again. I dont know if words could explain how greatfull i would be for any help one could give. Sincerely, Celina Hernandez
