Help Kristin Fund Overdue Dental Work

Dentists have been warning me that I need gum grafting in each quadrant of my mouth for the past 15 years. Gum recession is a problem that runs in my family, and I'm told that long-term braces as a child probably exacerbated the issue. Because I have waited so long, my gums have now become prone to infection despite brushing, flossing and Water Pik three times a day. I now need dental scaling and root planing because I have allowed this to go untreated for so long. Because my nerves are all exposed, I have significant pain consuming both cold and hot foods, and I really can't put this off much longer without greater risks to my teeth.

The cost of the deep clean (dental scaling and root planing) is about $1000. And a conservative estimate on gum grafting in each quadrant is about $4000 in total. I'm told it can cost up to $700 per tooth, but I don't believe my costs will be that high. So, I am asking for a total of $5000. Thank you so much.
