Maybe a job, brushing teeth earlier in life, and less Meth(a lot less) would have alleviated the need to suck money from total strangers so her vanity can deal with her meth mouth smile when looking in the mirror.

Pisses me off she's getting free bandwidth on this forum.

This is a rather terrible comment, it lacks empathy and is full of disinformation.

Probably feel better if she’d gum a root without posts

Why, why oh why, do we allow posts like this to exist? A member of our community has asked for help for one of their Family members. There is no way in hell this should be allowed. Shameful.

OP can she atleast get some antibiotics and pain medication in the meantime?

Isn’t there a free clinic in Lawrence? I think they do procedures like this at the Hunter health clinic in Wichita.

I’d shop around seems like they are putting the screws to her with that quote.

They do the complete deal in Ponca City and you can apply for a CareCredit Card.

i’m sure she’s looked into it. she had already looked into the KU dental school but there’s a year long wait list, i’d guess it’s probably the same for those other options as well.

This attitude is absolutely shameful. Not everyone who needs help is in that position because of their own bad choices. Sometimes you can do everything right, and it just doesn't work out for you.

I would rather help someone who may not really need it as opposed to neglect someone who really does need it. It is for this reason that I try to help panhandlers when I can (usually by buying them some food). I figure that even if they are spending all their money on booze and/or drugs (and that's an "if" because I don't know that) they can still use a warm smile and some edible food.

Think twice about medical tourism. Say what you want about our prices here, but at least we are clean (generally) and have stringent standards.

Are you serious? I know you joke around a lot but this looks like a serious post. Crazy if true.

Dude, you've been here almost 2 years. Dang right you should know that you're going to get a few smart Alec posts. It comes with the territory. Though a couple of these idiots took it a little too far, IMO.

I hope your sister gets the help she needs. I don't recall if you said what is her age. I would seriously consider dentures in her situation. But I do realize that might terrify a younger person.
