Hi, everyone. I'm starting this fundraiser to help me pay for dental bills.

I, unfortunately, have had a lot of dental problems due to depression and issues with insurance in the past. Now that I have dental insurance through my job, I went to the dentist a few months ago for the first time in a while, and was told that I needed a pretty urgent crown on one of my teeth in order to save it from needing to be pulled, preferably within the next couple of months.

Then they told me the cost, after insurance paid its part, would be around $900. I don't know how I'll be able to pay for that anytime soon, certainly not before the tooth deteriorates even further.

I'm hoping for help to at least pay for the crown, but I've set the total cost to reflect the total bill of care they think I'll need for all my immediate dental needs, so that I hopefully don't have more issues down the line-- medical debt has caused the majority of my financial stress, so I'd like to avoid compounding it further, if at all possible.

I know times are hard for everyone right now, so I really appreciate any help people have to give, whether that's monetarily or by sharing with people you know. It's hard to express my thanks for everyone who's been willing to help.
