Help Mo Get Urgent Dental Work
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Mo, and I unfortunately need some urgent dental work I cannot afford. I need two root canals and crowns on both to get rid of some nasty infections. These cause me daily agonizing pain, including triggering daily 24/7 migraines that severely affect my vision, ability to work, and have taken over my life. The migraines caused are so severe that most times I can’t even have my face touch my pillow it’s so painful. On top of this, I am severely immune compromised so having such bad infections in my jaw causes my immune system to plummet even further leading to daily fevers and flaring up of other chronic health issues. I have the appointments set up to fix my teeth, but I currently have no way to afford it as I just had major surgery and other health issues and have been out of work for a month. Any little bit helps and means the absolute world to me as this is something that plagues my daily life and leads to constant excruciating pain. For some back story, please read below.
My tooth infections and issues were not caused by neglect on my part. I had gone to a local dentist to get a bunch of fillings to address issues caused by my gastroparesis and constant puking. After getting them all treated, I was having continuing issues. After six months of this, I went back and found out that the dentists had messed up ALL 11 fillings and had subsequently quit the practice and ditched town. The office fixed all 11, but yet I continued to have issues. Turns out they had messed up a couple of the fixed fillings too. I received a third filling which at this point had degraded my tooth so severely that I now need a full root canal and crown because of the damage caused. In process of dealing with this tooth, we found that the tooth near it had gained a significant infection likely from all of the stress on it and the surrounding teeth. While I am pursuing legal action, there’s no promise anything will happen or be paid for and waiting that long to be treated (to complete full legal action) just isn’t possible with how severe the infections and degradation are. This affects every moment of my waking life and causes me excruciating pain among other health issues. The root canals themselves are $600 and $800 respectively with my dental insurance and each crown will be $1700 and $2000 respectively with insurance as I’ve already reached my maximum with my other treatments. Any little bit helps as this is a very serious and very terrifying and excruciating issue that makes my daily life unbearable. Thank you so much for reading my story and caring enough to be here!
