TLDR/short recap: I have a genetic disease that's caused my teeth to decay at an incredible rate of speed. I didn't use drugs and I took care of my teeth the way we were always told to growing up. The pictures posted at the bottom of my story are less than 3 years apart.

I started by getting 2 root canals and a handful of fillings, but it quickly became evident that in no realistic fashion could I financially keep up with the dental work needed to stay ahead of the decay. In the middle of me attempting to save as many eggs as I could, I was very badly injured physically which will likely leave me with lifelong nerve pain in my legs, even after having back surgery.
10 months go by before I'm able to truly work full time again. Once I could afford it I went to a few dentists that gave me the verdict that I do not create enough saliva to properly protect my teeth. I was also told that fillings, crowns or caps wont hold near as well in my mouth due to this disease.
So I started pulling them. Now we are at the point where I can't financially keep up with just getting the teeth pulled. Even when I try to hold off until they start to give me toothaches so bad that I can't fall asleep for 40 hours at a time.
This fundraiser cap is going to be set at the price needed for implants to replace my top teeth and the price of the procedures on my bottom teeth that I was given for my treatment plan. (Dentures are a short term fix, as I've been told they also don't work well with salivary dysfunctions)
Pictures posted are dated 2 years and 10 months apart.
*No, i don't use hard drugs and no I didn't brush my teeth with sugar everyday, I used toothpaste like a NORMAL person.
