Help Amber Get Urgent Dental Care
Donation protected
Hi! I’m Amber, and my teeth are in desperate need of some pretty intense dental care.
I didn’t have any dental insurance coverage as an adult until I was in my mid-twenties, and unfortunately, by the time I got back to the dentist after having not gone for about 5 years, I had quite a lot of work to be done and not enough coverage/funds to do it. When I first went back to the dentist in 2022, I received a treatment plan with an estimate of over $3000, and I just froze. I had no way to pay that money, no time to take off work, and ultimately, no way to move forward. Unfortunately, due to many factors (the pandemic, losing my job last year, and an overwhelming phobia of the dentist), I’ve been in the same boat for about 3 years now, and it’s getting to a place of serious consequences if I don’t act immediately.
Last week, I finally got the courage to go back to the dentist, and unfortunately, things have gotten worse. Currently, I have 3 teeth that need immediate care, and many smaller problems that need less urgent addressing. Luckily, I’ve found a no-cost option for smaller fillings, but I am desperately in need of financial help for the three severely damaged teeth.
I am currently raising funds for a root canal and crown, a deep filling and crown, and an extraction. I wouldn’t be asking for help if there were any other options available to me. I’m at a total loss of what else I could possibly do. Any amount my friends, family, and community could spare would mean the world to me.
