Hi, So I am doing this as a last resort.I was fitted with a Mirena Coil in 2013 and I had quite a few problems due to the coil and I had a hormone overdose kind of,my body had high levels of hormone which resulted in many hospital trips and appointments at the GP.The nurse at the time fitted me with an implant aswell towards the end of finally getting it removed,after a long fight (1 year).I started to notice I developed abscesses alot more in my gums.I have very strict oral healthcare and never skipped brushing or flossing.My dentist said I have periodontal disease due to my coil.I was starting out on modelling and had a lovely smile all my teeth were my pride,my smile was my pride.I loved smiling,it was just my gums.So I have treatment by the dentist which has cost me so much money and now it has gone so much worse.My gums have receeded and my teeth have all moved apart and are now wobbly.My front teeth were all neat and closed together,now my teeth are all wonky and I have a gap between my teeth which is getting worse and my teeth are coming out forward.I will loose my teeth and I'm not even 30 yet.I have lost all confidence,I no longer smile with my mouth open,my life of being a model is now ruined.My teeth have got that bad that now when my mouth is closed you can see my top left tooth poking out :( It really has damaged me.Not only the health implications from it,it is a worry but also it affects my everyday life.I got that bad in depression I wanted to end it,not only because of how my entire face has changed but the pain is something else! Its horrid,I am scared to eat or drink,my life is being controlled by my gums.For some it may seem silly but for me its my life and a very real thing.I need to raise this money by July so I can have the BOST Surgery (its a cure for gum disease)this is the only treatment available or go to the USA to get it done but that is ridiculous amounts of money,so the nearest one I will go to is in London.I cannot afford this and I want to keep all my teeth.My situation is crucial and urgent! If I want to start a family,they said I am at risk of heart attack and my teeth could fall out during pregnancy.If anyone lived in my life they would see that this is a very distressing thing for me.I no longer know what to do so I have come here in hopes that someone could help me please.I really do need it ASAP.I will upload ONE photo of my teeth before.I dont normally do this but its getting to the point where by the time i am 30 (next year) I will have lost most of my teeth and my career! Thank you for reading.Please if you can help me,please do so,I am in so much pain in my jaw and gums everyday,it is becoming unbearable to live with. Thank you again for reading.
