Hi everyone! I go by Mosh, and I am in desperate need of dental work. I’ve always had not the best teeth, unfortunately, due to genetics. However, other circumstances have led to some serious issues. I am diabetic, and for the last 5 years or so, I was unable to treat my diabetes, so it went unmanaged, which led to periodontal disease. I began then rapidly losing my teeth, getting infections, and receding gums. I’ve lost 1/4 of my teeth, and more teeth have chipped or broken to the point I’ve lost all my confidence. I don’t smile anymore; it’s very hard to eat. I am constantly judged and looked down on due to the nature of my teeth. I went viral on an Instagram video, and 99% of the comments are so degrading and hateful because of my teeth. I am very concerned for my health with the state of my teeth. I now have my diabetes under control and managed and want to continue to get healthier. What I need is a deep periodontal cleaning, oral surgery to cut out the teeth that cannot be pulled, extract all the rest of my teeth, and get a set of dentures. It feels odd putting this out into the world, like I don’t deserve this, no one will care to help, why should I ask random people for help. I deserve this. I am a person who walks this world with kindness and compassion and is willing to help anyone who ever needs it, so why can’t I believe there are others in the world same as me? Getting my teeth fixed would greatly improve my health and cut the risk of infection or dying from an abscess. It would also completely bring me back to life, allow me to walk with my head high, and not be afraid to smile in photos anymore. It would be so life-changing that I am crying as I type this. Anything helps, thank you for taking the time to read my story. Much love.
