Urgently need money for dental issues and infected tooth

Hey everyone :)

I am really prone to dental decay and have a few more fillings and a possible root canal to do, I need the fillings done asap before they turn into root canals. Fillings are very expensive where I live (at least $160 AUD) and I have a few to do.

They aren’t covered under government dental unfortunately, and the student dental waiting lists take over a year.

I really don’t want to lose any more teeth or let them turn into infections, I want to fix them asap! I already lost 2 of my bottom right molars and I can only eat from the left side, this is causing a lot of strain on my left side teeth and a couple of them hurt already I’m paranoid of my teeth getting infections again, I was already told I have gum disease and one of my teeth felt numb the other day, so it feels like something bad is happening again. That same tooth is sore when I eat

I really need a normal checkup and clean soon too, some fillings, root canal and I also need some implants on the right side… that’s sooo expensive and I don’t know what to do. I’m trying to raise funds online.

I don’t have a job, but I don’t want to get into that. I’ve been out of any job for years now and so I don’t have experience and I am a stay at home mum. I just don’t want anyone to judge me.

I’d actually need like thousands, but I’m thinking of just focusing on the fillings for now, I can’t ask for money for the implants, they’re like $3,500AUD each at least, I would only need 1 in order to be able to chew from both sides again, I just at the moment cannot find the heart to ask for that kind of money.

If you’re able to help in any small amount, I would appreciate it so so much! Just to cover some filings and a normal checkup. I also even owe another $200 to a dentist where I got a crown done.

please help me keep my smile, it may look like I have good teeth in the photo - but they’re far from perfect! I have big gaps between my teeth, but they’re not very noticeable from far

thank-you sooooo much if you’re able to help!!
