Hello! When I was younger like most kids, I feared the dentist, except my anxiety was a bit on the extreme spectrum. Dentists would have to sedate me to try to clean my teeth. To say the least, I was an S-tier biter. My mother was a single parent at the time, and she had too big of a heart to watch her daughter go through these fits continuously. So with that, she stopped forcing me to go to the dentist. Throughout my childhood, my mother never really pushed the importance of dental hygiene and taking care of yourself. As you can imagine, it became a problem for adult me to handle. A few years back, on rare occasions, I would get tooth pain due to infections. I'd take my painkillers, omoxicillin, the pain would clear up, and I'd be fine for the next few months.

Fast forward to the present day, the pain has become permanent. The infections don't go away, and I take amoxicillin daily. Which, in itself, adds up. I went to a dentist more recently to get everything checked out, with the mindset that, at most, they'd likely have to remove two teeth, and I'd be fine. Seems things were much worse than I had imagined.

Despite taking much better care of my dental hygiene in my teens and adult years, the damage to my teeth had already become so severe and could not be restored.

I have to go in for several sessions, each in the thousands. I have a job of my own, but with rent and groceries, it would take me several months to save up for what I need to get the first appointment done. Which, in my current situation, is not very possible to wait that much longer. I'm running out of meds swiftly and want to get dental work done and fix these problems ASAP and hopefully put an end to it.

This entire situation has caused me great stress, which has affected my mental tremendously. I understand I may not be able to make the goal, but I'd appreciate any help given to me during this time. Thank you.
