Help me in my gum and hypertrichosis battle

Donation protected
I am a sister who is 21 years old and have suffered from having orthodontic abuse. My gums were bright red in the past showing gum disease yet my braces weren’t removed 

At 19 years old I went to a private periodontist who diagnosed me with gum disease. 
Gum disease is serious as aggressive bacteria eats away at the gums and travels in the bloodstream causing havoc to the organs of the body and immune system. It is also very painful. There’s 4 stages of gum disease I was diagnosed with stage 2 at 19 years old. Stage 3&4 is when you lose your teeth. I’m always in pain and cannot work full time due to the uncomfortable gum recession I have on my upper mouth. My gums are also thin - the teeth show through them. Hypertrichosis is when there’s excessive hairs in targeted areas of the body (localised). There’s different types of the illness for example generalised (all over the body), localised (targeted areas) nevoid, werewolf etc

My gum disease causes extreme fatigue as the bacteria enters the bloodstream and causes havoc to the organs of the body and immune system

This fundraiser is for wisdom tooth surgery and gum treatments anything additional will be mentioned etc I am not always online as I’m in pain etc 

I do have autism and adults with autism find decision making very hard and we overthink and become hesitant… so please bare with me I never put full amount in as I need time to think about my treatment plans. Pictures and evidences of gum disease and surgery and gum recession all shown in next slide etc 

My gum disease treatments weren’t on nhs as scaling and polishing on nhs fail patients as they still end up losing their teeth. So I had to go privately and do laser gum treatments at Behrens dental practice. It costed £4k. I worked in pain and fundraised £2k. A brother from Italy also went to Behrens after being referred to a periodontist to do scaling and polishing which failed him. And there r other several reviews of patients told they’ll lose their teeth and end up doing this treatment from Behrens instead. 



Any updates for treatment plans I’ll include this is minimum for now. (Refer to thread as I can’t type im in pain). I’ve removed electrolysis out of this fundraiser as the wisdom tooth surgery is more urgent rn.

in’shaa’Allah 

This fundraiser is anything got to do with my hypertrichosis (teeth, gums etc) including consultation appointments and food as I am at my nan’s home and I barely eat here so need help here 

I am due for a gum graft but have review appointments. This fundraiser includes appointments fees for anything got to do with my teeth and gums
 
Update: I’m including my electrolysis in this. Since I can’t afford it. So the remaining money will go towards there. I do suffer with hypertrichosis and there’s only one clinic that’s able to treat me that does long sessions etc electrolysis is a medical procedure whereby the follicles are cut from blood supply using electric current via a needle. My condition is rare and I’m tested with it as traditional methods do not work etc and it’s a financial struggle. I’ve had permission to fundraise for it. Anything additional is my gum treatments which I’ve shown in my very first thread the letter for it etc and I’ll post all reciepts up. I’ve taken out too many gap years from uni over my health as in the past I had gum disease and had to go privately to Behrens dental practice 

It’s taking a huge toll on me financially all my expenses as I haven’t even finished my degree to have a proper job etc so I am struggling. I do have an imams permission for this so I’ve included it now. 


Update: any remaining money will go towards food too as I do need to eat soft diet etc and will be resting after surgery. I’ve left to my nan’s home as I had a domestic situation so would need a bit of help with food and bedcovers and necessary essentials etc

At the age of 18 I got diagnosed with gum disease. 18-19 I spent time doing treatments at Behrens dental practice etc and have no savings. It all went to the laser gum treatments. nhs didn’t pick up on my wisdom teeth so I honestly fell sick and came off uni in October 2023. So yes cuz of gum graft surgery and wisdom I can’t really work as much and need help with the electrolysis etc imam said to include it’s as all under one and I haven’t been uni yet either 

The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever relieves a Muslim of some worldly distress, Allah will relieve him of some of the distress of the Day of Resurrection Sunnan Ibn Majah 225

. I don’t have any family support and I’m struggling badly. I was neglected by nhs dentist. My father cancelled my hygiene appointments during braces leading to this mess…orthodontist didn’t explain to him the importance of hygiene appointments and he cancelled them thinking it’s a scam and I ended up with gum disease. I would need help with food as grandma cooks spicy and I can’t have spicy due to my acid reflux. 

If anyone wants to verify me privately you can

This fundraiser is to help me out with food mainly maintenance treatments for my gums… my electrolysis as I’m trying my best to save for my gum graft. 


UPDATE: 

Inna lilahi wa inna ilayhi rajooon my grandma has passed away on 13th September so I’m back at mum’s. Fundraiser still includes food gum hygiene cleans electrolysis we managed with upper wisdom removal the lower two wisdom I managed myself. I desperately need help because it’s not the full amount I have my overbite to fix too and frenectomy to do before gum graft surgery so I’m in need of help here
