Out of all the hardships I've endured with my teeth, this feels like the hardest part of it all, To ask for help. It has gotten to the point that the bills and cost to fix my teeth after tragedy has become to too hard to do alone.
3 1/2 years ago I fell victim to another case of texting & driving, resulting in my face hitting the steering wheel and the airbag deploying right after. This left my teeth busted out and later finding most of my teeth hairline fractured.
I started to see a dentist to help me regain and stregthen what I had. After months of grueling procedures and emply pockets, I came to find that wasn't the case.
In the the fall of 2013, minutes after being worked on, I rushed my self to the hospital. The dentist had left LIFE THREATENING virus in my face. I had a 6 hours to live with a miniumun 5% chance of survival. I managed to pull thru and then it began.

After months of antibiotics that took a tremendous toll on my health, I was left weak and unable to work or pursue my acting career.
My journey wasnt over by far. The wonderful oral surgeon who saved my life, began to find that all the work previous done, left my mouth internally butchered. Destroying the teeth from the inside out and leaving cysts in my skull, forcing me to remove teeth and implant. As a young woman, not the easiest on the self esteem. One year, one month, and one day after I was dying from celulitus, I was admitted again when one of those cysts abcessed and broke my jaw, shattering the area. I was rushed once again into life saving surgery and had to be implanted with a cow bone graph screwed into my jaw.
This is just the begining to what has been an immensly painful and long journey, from painful procedures to relearning how to talk with dentures.
The money will be used to now finish implants half done and to start another round of removing my teeth and implanting them before they break my facial bones or leave me once again with a deadly infection that I might not recover from the third time. Everyday is a guessing game.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and I THANK YOU from the deepest parts of my heart for even the littlest bit of help.
