Ruby's Tooth Surgery and Replacement Fund

Hey everyone,

As some of you may know I was involved in an incident in October that resulted in the emergency removal of one of my front teeth.

I paid out of pocket to have a temporary flipper for the missing tooth and bonding for the other front tooth that was severely damaged high inside my gums.

Last Monday I was finally able to see an oral surgeon who deemed it necessary to remove a second front tooth, and implanted posts for an eventual permanent solution.

This procedure is not covered by insurance in any way, and as you can imagine, is very costly.

I am lucky to have a temporary retainer to hide the fact that two teeth are missing so I am able to bartend and perform without having to be too self-conscious but the mental toll of seeing myself without two front teeth is already a lot to bear.

I am not one to ask for financial help - or help in general - but the cost of this whole ordeal is adding up quickly. This is a long and expensive process, with even more costs to come later this year but I'm hoping that leaning on my community will offer some financial assistance and make this easier.

I want to come out proud and smiling and I'm hoping some of you may have the means to help me.

Feel free to reach out to me personally.

Thank you all.
