Hi my name is Crystal and as many of you know i’ve been battling dental issues the majority of my life. Growing up I had seven teeth never grow in and was diagnosed with a condition called enamel hypolasia which caused enamel defects on my teeth. Over time my mouth would deteriorate. I was able to hide the majority of my defects and had a bridge on my top front teeth which helped me get a job in the school system. That bridge lasted 10 years but eventually the teeth they were secured to deteriorated to a point they couldn’t hold it anymore so it fell out. When I went to the dentist they said all my teeth had to get pulled because they would very likely cause cancer or heart disease.. So I had them pulled and they gave me dentures while my mouth heeled. The dentures I have cause unbearable pain and discomfort. My mouth bleeds and swells everyday. I can't eat or sleep without constant pain. At my last check up I was told my bottom gum had receeded significantly and their was almost no bottom bone left. I would need to get dental implants now before that happened. I found an amazing dentist to do the procedure but it costs 54,000. Insurance won’t cover any of it so it’s a constant worry on my mind. If I can't get this procedure done now I may never be able to have bottom teeth again. If you can help at all I would appreciate it. Thank you all so much!
