Help get Ashleigh's front teeth back!!!
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
Yesterday (3/4/25) I had a push bike accident just before 11am whilst riding to work. My left foot slipped off of the pedal, got lodged in the spokes of my back wheel and flung the bike over the top of me and I landed on the ground teeth first (essentially kerb stomped myself).
All of the impact of my fall was taken by my two front teeth. I didn't fall unconscious luckily but when I looked up my teeth were on the pavement in front of me. I tried to dial 999 but all the blood from my mouth and eyes pretty much drowned my phone screen and I couldn't see anything, luckily after five minutes a kind lady saw me waving my arms around next to the dual carriageway and took me to hospital. The picture above is actually me cleaned up at the hospital, all the blood is patches of my face that got ripped off.
I've lost both my front teeth, split my nose and right eyebrow open, and injured both my arms and legs. I spent ten hours in hospital and unfortunately they tried to put my teeth back in (even thought they were kinda destroyed from the impact) but it had been four hours since the accident and they wouldn't take, also teeth will discolour if they've been out of your mouth for a while even if you successfully put them back in so it wouldn't have been ideal for the future.
Basically I am asking for any help at all towards dental treatment. I should be able to get it through NHS emergency dental treatment (band 3) and the least it will cost is just over £300 (£326.70 for implants and the removal of shards of tooth that got pushed into the roof of my mouth) The most it could cost through NHS if I need dentures to bridge the gap between healing and implants is £650. And if I have to go private it will be over £2000 easily. I don't expect £300 in the slightest but honestly anything would help, and if somehow by an act of God it would be cheaper than that I will donate funds to charity.
The only way I could've avoided this accident is if I had a motorcycle helmet on, but still, that could've caused spine complications and maybe worse injuries. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE understand that if your feet slip into your wheel you WILL need to go to hospital.
I was ridiculously lucky, I could've had handlebars straight through me, been paralysed, blinded, screwed up my hands, all sorts. Please please be safe. I will never be riding a bike again although I absolutely love them!!!
