My name is Annalise, and I am a recovering addict. I started using drugs when I was just 14, and now, at 29, I am almost six months clean. Recovery has been a long and difficult journey, but I am determined to build a better life for myself. Unfortunately, during my years of addiction, my dental health was neglected, and now I am facing serious dental issues that are affecting my daily life.

I have explored several options for dental treatment. The most affordable solution I found is at a dental school in Florence, SC, where I can receive extractions and dentures. This is still a significant amount for me, but it is my best chance at restoring my health and confidence. Right now, I can only eat soft foods, and I am suffering from severe infections in my face due to tooth decay. Getting this dental work done is not just about my appearance—it is critical for my health and my future.

Having a healthy smile will be life changing for my self-esteem and will motivate me to stay sober. It will also open up new employment opportunities and help me be seen as a more professional and responsible person. I am incredibly grateful for any support you can offer. Thank you in advance for helping me take this important step in my recovery and giving me hope for a brighter future.
