Save Elie’s Tooth

The nerve below my left second molar is dying, and I am in excruciating pain. A root canal was recommended for me, and although I have OHP, root canal therapy is not covered for that tooth except for patients under 21.

I have already lost two molars over the years — lapband-induced bulimia really did a number on my teeth as a teen — and I really, really would like to avoid losing another.

This is the worst dental pain I’ve ever experienced, stretching down my neck and up into my ear and eye. I’m worried, but I’m also functionally incapacitated.

I am disabled, fighting for my mobility, in the middle of a move, and currently self-employed and barely scraping by. If you’re able to spare any money whatsoever, it would be a huge help.
