Help me receive dental care so I don’t lose my teeth ❤️
Donation protected
Hey guys, I feel absolutely ashamed to have to do this, but I am in truly desperate need of help.
If you know me at all, you know I do not like to ask anyone for help, especially financially, and really never do. It kills me to do this, and is so insanely embarrassing, but I have no where else to go for help as I am not eligible for ANY government assistance at all.
At only 28 years old, I am on the verge of losing my teeth. I have been without dental benefits for nearly 9 years now and have been unable to afford adequate dental care. After having many fillings as a child, 6 years ago my fillings started falling out, and my wisdom teeth began to grow in. This created rapid loss of teeth and a lot of pain. I have been suffering on and off with tooth infections for the last 6 years because dental care is so expensive and I cannot afford it whatsoever.
Despite me working a full time job while receiving loans as a full time student, I still cannot afford any dental care. I only have $900 of coverage per year from school, but the dental work I need at this time after having my checkup is $13,000.
I require 4 X root canals and the above quote does not include future crowns which I will need on top.
I have many fillings needing work or replacement.
And I need the remaining portions of my three now lost teeth to be extracted. This all does not include the wisdom teeth removal I will need as well at some point soon.
My ultimate goal is to also have one of my teeth replaced once all other work is done, so that I can regain more surface for chewing food.
My inability to receive dental care in the past has contributed to my physical health including major weight loss, and has severely impacted my mental health.
As much as I want to delete this and go hide in a hole, I need help badly. If there is anything, anyone can spare I will be indebted to you for life. It would be so incredibly appreciated beyond comprehension.
Thank you ❤️
