Hi my name is Karis, Im 28 years old and currently have 0 insurance. I was randomly struck with incredible tooth pain in my top left back molar, and had to get get it examined. I was told I would need to either get a root canal, or have it extracted. Root canals are INSANELY expensive without insurance, and I figured extracting it would just be the way better option for me. The only issue is, I have to go to a specialist to get it pulled, and they ask for $195 consultation fee up front, and then the cost of extraction afterwards. I asked about payment plans, and have heard nothing back (so far.)

I currently cannot afford all of these fees up front while still keeping up with my bills. I am self employed, and the pain from this tooth currently has me bedridden in total agony, unable to work. I am on antibiotics, but the only painkillers I have are ibuprofen and tylenol on a 6 hour cycle. I need to get this tooth extracted as soon as I can.

I am so embarrassed to be making a GFM to ask for help for something that should seem so simple, but I can only blame my country's poor healthcare for this. Please consider donating, but if you cannot during these times I completely understand. Even going as far as sharing the link will help.

Thank you all.
