Q: Front teeth nerve damage ?

Well, I live in Santa Barbara County in California, and I have a problem, as I am sure you could infer from the subject.

So. My sister was drunk and got into a fight with me, almost knocking out my front teeth. They were in bad shape already, but she really got me good. Now they're pretty damn loose, and when I went to the Hospital, the dentist/doctor told me that it looked like I had "nerve damage" and that they could "possibly fall out," but that it was too early to tell. Now, he didn't seem too confident in saying probably, by the tone of his voice. I'm thinking he probably meant, well, "probably."

So, I have no insurance of any kind except MIA (which apparently doesn't cover dentistry), and I am unemployed. Obviously, I have no cash, and the Clinic and Hospital give me the run around. I really don't feel like losing my bottom row of front teeth, of course. I'm only 22 years old; no spring chicken but too young for this... So I am asking if anybody could help me by giving me some information pertaining to free dentists in California that could either help in getting them fixed if possible, or getting implants or something. Finding a job without your front teeth, without a High School Diploma, nor even a GED is isn't going to happen.

Thanks for the help.

You need to wait to see if any other symptoms develop. Sensitivity. The tooth turning dark. Abscesses or "bumps" llike resemble pimples. If any of those things happen the nerve could be dying. If your having no symptoms they may have tightened back up and will be just fine.
