Friends and Family,
I hate to ask for help, but sincerely need it. When I was about four years old, my family noticed something was different about my teeth. My parents took me to a doctor and discovered that my teeth had no enamel. I was born without enamel, which is one of the four major tissues that makes up the tooth. Enamel is also the protective layer of the tooth. Since my adult teeth have grown in, I have had over 15 cavities and 4 root canals. One of the root canals on my first, left molar is infected past the point of repair. As you can see in the picture, the X-Ray shows a tooth with all white root and pulp, the white is the infection. This meaning, I must have the tooth removed and an implant secured in its place. This is a 4 month long process that costs roughly $3,000. Usually, I would be able to work enough to save the necessary amount of money, but they amount of pain I am in and the extent of the infection will cause the rest of the teeth in that area to become infected as well as cause an abscess in my gums, which has already began to form. Apparently, I have needed this procedure done for over a year but I had not gone to a dentist due to insurance complications. The dentist insisted that I have the procedure done as soon as possible to avoid the spread of infection. I will continue to work and save money for the procedure. In the meantime, any help given will be immensely appreciated. Thank you for taking time to read about my situation.
