Hi Dr. Phil:

My name is Kate and I'm 14 years old. I have a favor to ask. My mom, Candy, is Supermom. She is 35 years old, works three jobs and has four kids. When my parents were together, my father would beat her, which would cause her teeth to break. She was terrified. After their divorce, we never really had money, so her teeth have stayed the same. My mom makes me upset because she always says she's ugly because of her teeth. No matter what, she'll always be pretty to me. I'm begging you to help my mom. She really needs a chance to have beautiful teeth so she might actually smile for the first time in almost 10 years.

Love always,
Kate
