My name is Anthony Baltiero and I live in Hendersonville, NC and I need some help. I went to the doctor with a bad headache and it turns out that I need some emergency dental procedures including surgery. The recent storm wiped out any savings we had and insurance is useless covering these costs. I truly don't know what to do. I work hard and thought I was doing everything right. I have good health/dental insurance and I still will need to come up with about $5,000. How is this possible?!

I have an emergency root canal first up that wants $1,700-$1,900 up front, no payment plans, no other options around.

The oral surgery to remove wisdom teeth and some other dental stuff is another $3000

I'm now desperately and embarrassingly asking for help from strangers. I have two kids and I'm trying my best to stay afloat during this, but again, I don't know how to pay for this. If I don't do these procedures, I risk a major blood infection and even an infection spreading to my brain. I can't do that to my kids and family. If you can help me, please do. If not, I get it! Please share this. God bless you!
