Urgent Dental Surgery Needed for Young Diabetic Student!!!

To whom it may concern, I’ve made this GFM as a last and very dire resort regarding an issue that’s beginning to plague my personal health. I am 27 years old, struggling over the past two years to afford to have all my wisdom teeth extracted. 2023 was a rough year in its entirety for me, and this compromised my ability to take care of this issue while my worst symptoms were going on. Overtime, my lymph nodes have swollen off and on, causing me pain even while I sleep. I still haven’t been able to take care of this dental issue while working as well as going to school.

I’ve struggled to meet insurance requirements that take care of what I need when I have coverage, and can’t afford the cost from facilities when I don't — which is the case now. I've had dental insurance again and again, but it always comes down to cost, coverage, and the availability of surgeons (who I seem to have the worst luck with getting scheduled for appointments months out). I’ve been in so soo much pain over the past two years dealing with this issue, and am at my wit’s end. I can’t sleep; I can’t eat; some days I can hardly talk without taking painkillers every other hour. I’m so desperate to get this resolved, and I hate that I've had to put it off this long just because survival's gotten that tough. Oral surgery isn't cheap (and that in itself can be defeating when your situation is an emergency), but I’m worried that postponing this for so long is starting to make me ill with how I’ve been feeling (fast heart rate; shortness of breath; lymph node twinges; aching teeth; gum inflammation; dehydration).

I’m only coming to GFM because I can’t keep pushing it off. My paychecks aren’t cutting it on top of everything else’s expenses, and US healthcare is a nightmare to navigate. All my wisdom teeth need to come out immediately and it hurts so much. I’ve never really used this platform, but I’m not sure what else to do. I’m getting sick and I’ve already been told after previous examinations that I have an infection due to how long they've been in. I understand we’re all pressed for resources, money, time and energy, and the last thing I’m comfortable with doing is asking for the means to take care of my health from strangers — but e-begging is the very last impression I hope this gives for how serious it is for me. I’m also type 1 diabetic, for what that's worth; which is a whole other reason this pain and persistent infection scares me as to how much worse it could potentially get. I appreciate literally ANYONE’S empathy on this. Please help me, to anyone who can spare/donate anything. I really, really need this; the pain is unbearable.

Please and thank you so much! This would make a world of difference for me.
