Dentist Appointment / New Teeth

Donation protected
As long as I could remember. I have always had issues with my Teeth.

From the moment I started getting my adult teeth as a kid I was losing them as fast as they came. No matter the amount of Brushing my Teeth 3 times a day does. I had bad teeth... I did went to the Dentist when I was kid up until I was about 17-18 when my Dentist stopped seeing me.

Then my whole mouth was worked on. Almost every tooth was root canaled. Had about 6 crowned. And the rest either filled or remade entirely. And for about 3 years after this my teeth was good. I was good! But then they slowly started falling out... Decaying. Rotting. And everything. Again I brushed my teeth. I used Mouth Wash and it seemed like no matter what I do nothing wasn't working. 

I had no insurance at this time. I also had no money. So I could not go to the Dentist. But I went to one and was later discovered that I had severe Gingivitis and Gum Disease that caused my teeth to become the way they are now.

I do have Dental Anxiety due to the amount of work that was done and one bad experience I had. So I am slightly scared and terrified of going to the Dentist... But thanks to my amazing Roommates (And Boyfriend) they are helping me get the treatment I need. But we can only pay so much...

I finally worked up the courage to seek a dentist to get the proper work I need done. Which is all teeth removal which came up about $4k to do. And a Denture/Plate made which is another $4k and about $600-$800 of them knocking me out as my Anxiety is just bad... Last time I was awake (This was the Bad Experience) I had 8 nurses plus my mom holding me down cause I was having such a bad Panic Attack...

But my Procedure starts this month. We had went and got a Loan taken out to pay half of the cost (Which whatever I get here will go back to that Loan to pay it off) And then I will have a Couple Months of Healing Time and Couple Months to get the Other half of the $4k saved up so I can get my new teeth.

As I am having trouble eating now. I basically can only eat soft foods. And even then they hurt to eat. I am in constant pain. So much so that I get Migraine like Headaches. I taste the bad Infection that is in my Gums. And I am just tired of being in pain. Tired of being brought down. Talked down to. And being bullied.. I am 28 years old and I get bullied.. My teeth also kept me from getting some jobs...

As said... I am in constant pain and have gotten to the point that I can't eat now. The infection is bad for my health and can actually kill me if I continue like this... But I finally got the courage and moving forward for a better life. A Better Smile. 

So anything helps. And I thank you from the Bottom of my Heart if you decide to help out! Much Appreciated and God Bless!
