    Any Dentist at SBR??? I have a question

    Long story short....

    There is a girl at our daycare that is the so nice and down on her luck. She has a black spot between her front middle teeth. We would like to offer to get it fixed for the girl as she posted on her facebook she hates her life and is always broke. I want to make sure the fix wouldn't cost 10k prior to volunteering to pay to get it fixed for her.

    I'm sure she doesn't have insurance, so we would have to strike an all cash deal with the dentist.

    I'm sure I could get a picture off her facebook to send in the event someone works at or is a dentist.

    Thanks in advance

    Can of white paint should do the trick. Would only need a drop or so I would imagine.

    Good luck fire

    Might have some luck by contacting your local academic hospital, the university of whatever hospital you live by. They tend to do a lot of charity care but it will be done students. If there is a bill it will be much cheaper. Plus, she’ll actually have a great dentist in the room teaching the students, the work is usually pretty darn good

    Thanks, I'll call around and see if there are some around.

    I know it will cost a couple grand, but just don't want to get her excited and then see it costs 10k.

    Maybe I'm just very confused, but how does one have a black spot between teeth? Do you just mean there is a gap there? How can it be black? Is it the gums that are black.

    I'm not a dentist, but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn before.

    Honestly, I do not know. I can tell its not the gums, but like the sides of her two middle teeth are going rotten?

    I just noticed it tonight when she went out with her fellow teachers and my wife mentioned the post she made today on facebook. Its very sad.

    That is a very nice gesture fire. However, if her front 2 teeth are rotting, my guess is she has further issues going on in there. Sounds like it could be very pricey but what do I know.

    She's conning you. Everybody has a family. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins. But it sounds like you have a big heart and a big bank account. Best of luck.

    my buddy actually was up and got back to me...(different time zones)

    he said a few hundred but if it’s “worse” obviously who knows how high you are running up

    Why fix her teeth? Didnt she say she had money problems? Take that money you were going to spend on that and use it to help her eliminate whatever is the real stress financially. I'm sure her teeth are one of her last concerns. Talk to her and you'll find out quickly.

    How could she be conning us when she hasn’t asked for anything?

    it was something we are willing to offer without her asking.

    My guess is that she just has extensive plaque build up. Nothing a $80-$100 cleaning can't fix. If that's what it is, have the office call me and I'll pay the bill for her if she can't

    I’m sure she is depressed for a lot of reasons, of which 1-2k won’t fix.

    however, if we could help her feel better and not insecure, that to me is worth it.

    We are planning on trying to take her aside and offer it without putting her down.

    It's the whole "woe is me" scenario. She posted her money problems on FB in hopes that someone will step up. Like I said, you have a big heart. And we all have the freedom to spend our money as we see fit.

    Maybe, you could be right, but wouldn’t you fix your teeth if you could?

    Either way, the money would mean for to her than us and I would know we did something good.

    Not ugly, but not hot either.

    however, she has the sweetest personality and loves our kids. She looks out for our kids at daycare.

    How old is she?

    I just showed a dentist, a good one at that, and described your post. He suggested that it is not decay, especially in the front and that he guessed it was a younger 4 - 10 year old with a stain.

    Stains are more common at the younger age.

    Remember, I took a picture of your link pic and described your post, so who knows.

    Sounds like a stain. How old is this girl, she has facebook?

    Doesn't have to be kid, but decay not usually like that in front teeth unless overall bad, bad troubles...but she would know.
