I'm going to keep this simple.

I have stumbled into a bit of dental debt. Recently, I had a tooth break. Went to the dentist and found that not only does the broken tooth need a root canal as expected, but an old filling I got as a teenager failed and that tooth also needs a root canal. Two root canals!

Even with insurance, it's going to be expensive. The pessimistic estimate the dental office gave me for how much I will owe, assuming insurance cheaps out on how much they cover, is $2762 for the root canals and repairs and another $54 for that initial intake appointment.

I'm going to do my best to cover as much of this as I can, but this is a lot of money and I am making retail wages. Any and all aid is appreciated!
