After going many years without seeing a dentist and not taking my oral hygiene as serious as i should've. I've found myself living my life in pain and misery. Anybody that has had a toothache knows firsthand, there is no pain that can compare to mouth pain. For me, I know this all too well. Being that I all too frequently have toothaches. Not just minor toothaches either. They get bad enough to the point that it literally has me in tears. It seems like every other month, at least, I get a serious tooth infection and the pain that comes with it is unbearable. As a result, I've lost quite a few teeth. In fact Ive probably lost more teeth than I actually have left, and quite honestly, it's not only painful, but it's embarrassing as well. To be so young and already have basically no teeth left, I am constantly feeling ashamed and embarrassed. I hate to smile, Ive had to stop eating A LOT of my favorite foods and most foods all together. Basically I'm on a soft food diet now. Not by choice but just to avoid the pain that will follow if I eat certain things. As time goes by, I am more and more ashamed of my dental situation. It's gotten to the point that, that's all I am constantly stressing about. Whether it be dealing with yet another toothache or being too embarrassed to smile or show my teeth at all or more recently I am constantly thinking to myself "when is it going to get so bad that the infection spreads into my blood and becomes life threatening?" Which apparently is something that happens. I only found this out recently when I was dealing with yet another bad infection and the antibiotics I had been taking for it were not doing anything to help it. I finally went to a dentist and it was there that I was told just how bad it really is inside my mouth. Even the dentist was surprised that it had gotten to this point and I haven't had to go to the ER because of the infection. If course, this terrified me even more than I already have been. Which is why I finally decided to swallow my pride and ask for some help. According to my most recent dentist visit, it's now only a matter of time before this becomes VERY serious. And that scares me. In order to fix my problem, it will require bone grafts because of how much of my bone has already deteriorated, then of course I need the remaining teeth extracted. Then, they will surgically implant some posts on the top and bottom of my mouth that will hold my new, full mouth of teeth in my mouth. Then finally, I'll be able to eat what I want, smile whenever and wherever I want without feeling ashamed. Ultimately, having my teeth all fixed could change my entire quality of life and how myself and others look at me. I really need this. Anything helps and if I'm able to get enough money together for me to get my new smile, I'd be so very grateful. So please, if you can help me out, this is literally my last resort. I don't know how else I would be able to afford this procedure. And my situation is only getting worse as days go by. Thank you for your support and God Bless.
