Money woes are so bad, a woman in Colorado is using Super Glue to keep her teeth from falling out.

September Williamson told Grand Junction, Colo., station KKCO, her once pearly whites are now plagued with problems.

"My kids have never really seen me smile. My husband says he misses it," Williamson told KKCO.

Williamson can't afford the dental work she needs so, for now, she's turned to Super Glue.

"I have a crown that is Super Glued in the front, but I can't fix it until I can get my dentures on top," she said.

Williamson does have insurance but it only covers up to $1,000 a year. The partial dentures she needs are $8,500 but because she has insurance -- she's not eligible for dental assistance.
