Hello

I absolutely hate having to do this, but at this point, I am desperate. I was given some tough, unexpected news on 8/18 at the dentist's office: I will need to have all of my teeth pulled and will need dental implants. As a child, I cannot recall going to the dentist regularly, and because of that, I've always had an extreme fear to the point I cry, shake, my blood pressure skyrockets, etc. I will also need bone grafts and an infection (sepsis) taken care of. I am constantly in pain and on a soft diet due to this situation. I have gone to 3 consultations where they have all told me the same thing, along with the fact I was born with a birth defect that I never knew I had, which is being born with half of my teeth missing roots. With that being said, my teeth easily break, and the bone around them starts to deteriorate. I am a mother of 4, and I would like to be around as long as I can. Being diabetic and having sepsis can be really dangerous. I am on a high dose of antibiotics for now that will only stop it from spreading but will not fix the problem. I do not qualify for any of the financial help from the dentist's office due to me trying to help a family member who unfortunately ruined my credit. If I stay here in the US, my insurance will only cover a portion, and the portion I would have to pay is a little over $49,000. My plan is to go down to Mexico to get all the work I need done for $9,100. This has been mentally draining as I have exhausted every avenue I can possibly think of. I know money is tight for everyone, and this is the last thing I wanted to get on here and do, but I literally have no other option. Thank you.
