Hello, my name is Michael and I'm reaching out for help for my son Gavin. He is 15 years old and a very smart kid. He is just like any other 15-year-old that wants to be accepted by their peers. He has been struggling with dental problems for many years now. Yes, I have insurance, but it doesn't help when he is so scared of the dentist. At one point, they wanted to strap him to a table. I was not about to subject him to that. His teeth are rotting away and breaking in the front and everywhere else to the point where he hides it pretty well.

I need to go to a new dentist for him that does anesthesia because that's the only way it's gonna get done. He just got a check-up and a cleaning, which was a nightmare with his anxiety. They quoted us around $15k to fix everything with a bridge, crowns, and extractions. That was without anesthesia. I don't want him to end up like me. I'm 47 now and I had all my teeth pulled right after COVID, and my dentures were made too big. To this day, I have no teeth. I have just learned to adapt and get by. I just don't want him to end up like me, especially at his age.

I know I'm asking a lot, but I have searched every road to get assistance for him, and with my credit and living paycheck to paycheck, I just can't do it. Please find it in your heart to help Gavin regain his smile and be more accepted.
