DIY Dentures

I've done a lot of pissing a moaning about my misadventures in the world of dentistry (I have a special blog just of me whining, it ain't pretty). I've never had access to top or even 2nd tier dentists. When disability and poverty caught up with me a few years ago I was left to the subterranean levels of dentistry. Where I live po'folk can apply for what's called Denti-Cal. Basic dental care through MediCal (Medicaid). Some of the cost cutting measures are reasonable. The dentists deserve to make a profit from their work. However it's hard to find such a provider that doesn't use volume of patients and cut rate materials & procedures to maximize that profit. I actually went to a decent provider for the first couple of years. When Denti-Cal changed their procedures in 2017 rather than do needed work to my front teeth they opted to 'wait n see' just how to best work the new system. In retrospect I should have waited too but 6 months of them giving me the run around was enough.

The people in that office let me know about another provider that took Denti-Cal only 20 minutes away. As much as I question the competency and ethics of my various health care providers I tend to trust them in person. I read something once about how the clinical setting was invented to cow people into a kind of submission. It seems to work on me. Today's video starts a couple of months after I gave up on the new dental office that pulled 2 of my front teeth needlessly and tried to cap the other two with 50% success. When I open my mouth with my dental plate out all you see is one nice crown and one sad stub where the 2nd crown wouldn't stick. The last thing they did for me was manufacture a new upper dental plate to account for the missing teeth and other modifications. As I explain in the video it didn't work out either.

I am in the long process of getting Denti-Cal to reverse what they paid for the wonky dental plate and crown so I can find a different dentist to try again.
I was referred by a friend to a 2nd or so tier dentist that accepts Denti-Cal. What a character. He told me that he is a very good dentist. He was very straightforward about only doing work that profits him in accordance with his high standards. I could hear him grumbling in the other rooms about me being there. He has a problem with poor people. 3 of his assistants came in separately to ask me who I was referred by. Not sure why he takes Denti-Cal, they don't allow for fees beyond what they pay. Because it's for poor people. He also took up some of his valuable time to tell me I was fat and offer his services as a kind of mentor. As if being a objectivist (selfish) piece of shit is something that can be learned.

If I grovel maybe the first place will take me back.

Now, on to the silliness.  Even though this is titled as a DIY video, and you can use the techniques presented, it's really a video blog. Me ruminating and having fun with my creative process. 
Also me learning more about making these videos and using the editing software trial and error style. The audio is uneven. I need to talk so my sentences have an end and don't just slur into the next one. That makes it so hard to edit. Oh, Ahh, Ya know, UUUmmm; those all have to go.
