Emergency Dental Expenses
Donation protected
Hello everybody! My name is Bonnie, and I come to you today because I need help. I recently had to have 2 emergency dental procedures that I thought were only going to be simple fillings. I was wrong and woefully unprepared for what was to happen next.
The 1st emergency was a root canal and wisdom tooth extraction. The week leading up to the procedure was spent in a ton of pain to the point where not even Ibuprofen was lessening said pain. That was in mid-February. After the procedure, I was finally out of pain and thought everything would be fine after that ordeal. Then tooth sensitivity on the other side of my mouth started. I was able to combat it for a few weeks with toothpaste for sensitive teeth, but I noticed it just wasn't improving and knew I had to go back to the dentist. Turned out, I needed yet another root canal.
The total cost between the 2 emergency procedures came to almost $6000. I completely maxed out a credit card and still had to pay $1300 up front. I feel like I'm drowning from this sudden debt.
Any amount you can help with would be very much appreciated. Even if you can't donate, signal boosting helps too! Thank you so much.
