Please help me restore my smile

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Elizabeth, and I am reaching out to you for help and support with this fundraiser in hopes to pay for critical dental procedures that would replace my rapidly deteriorating teeth, which would in turn improve my overall health and wellbeing.

I started this journey nearly two years ago after discovering how fragile my teeth had become, due to the side effects of the many medications that I take daily. I have had a total of five teeth removed in less that a year due to crumbling and breakage. Dental health affects overall health and is crucial to cardiac and brain health. I am trying to mitigate the damage that my declining oral health has created. Unfortunately, I am medically unable to work, and my husband is the only person able to provide an income. We do have medical and dental insurance, however, the cost of the essential and critical procedures far exceeds what insurance will cover. As a single income household the cost of these procedures are incompatible with maintaining essentials such as electricity and running water, medications, food, and gas.

My dentist and oral surgeon have recommended a series of procedures starting with dental impressions to make upper and lower immediate dentures, followed by full mouth extractions, in addition, two lower implanted anchors to support the lower denture. The oral surgeon stated that, after extraction, I will need to wear the immediate dentures for a year to allow for healing of the gums, then follow up to get permanent dentures made after one year.

Please consider supporting this fundraiser to help me meet this crucial goal. Having teeth and the ability to use them is something we should all have in common.

Thank you in advance and may GOD continue to bless you.
