Hello friends and family, I am hesitant to ask for financial help, however in this case it seems necessary. I urgently need major dental work done, as my jaws and teeth are failing rapidly. I was advised through my dentist and orthodontist 3 years ago that within 10 years I will loose most of my teeth due to problems with my upper and lower jaws and other dental complications. The proposed and deemed necessary recommendation is to start with new orthodontics, then have full upper jaw surgery, then lower jaw surgery, a final round of braces, then eventually the cosmetic work to save what is left of my teeth. The total cost of all procedures will be very close to $30,000. While there are some payment plans available for the bulk of the work, I will still need to come up with an initial $3000 for immediate treatments starting April 22nd.
I do not have any form of dental coverage. At best, our provincial health coverage only applies to standard emergency quick fixes, such as filling cavities and pulling teeth. I only have 22 teeth, and all of them have had as much work done as they can take. Due to the shape of my jaws, it will only worsen, and I am not eligible for false teeth either.
Now, I do have two businesses, and I am starting to increase my income, however, I am just not prepared for this dental process and costs. The shame I have felt over my teeth for decades has been crippling. I have never been able to properly smile, and now there is near constant pain in all of my teeth and jaws. I will do everything I can to save and direct funds to this. Still, I think I need your help. Small amounts are helpful and very appreciated.
