Hey y'all, if any of you know me you know I hate asking for help and I hate doctors, so both of these things are extremely scary for me. I haven't been working full time for a little over a month now due to mental health, and it's put a massive strain on my financial abilities. Right now the money I make goes straight to bills and feeding myself, and I don't make enough currently to put into savings. I have been dealing with a fractured wisdom tooth for over a year now, and it's currently got an infection that could spread into my sinuses and then into my brain if I don't get it removed. Extractions themselves don't cost too much, but I have to see a specialist because of how far back they are and how fractured it is, thus costing more than a typical tooth extraction. I ALSO have a tooth right next to it in desperate need of a root canal and crown, otherwise it will become infected, eat away at the pulp/root of my tooth and need to be extracted as well. Both of these teeth HURT and have been affecting the way my whole jaw feels lately. Getting them removed is my worst nightmare but it has to be done, and soon. So now I'm reaching out to my loved ones to ask for help through this. The fact that dental work in America is so disgustingly unaffordable makes me sick, and I wish I didn't have to ask for this much help from anyone because I know we are all struggling in our own ways. Please know I love you regardless of what you can give, because anything and everything will be so greatly appreciated. I am currently trying to get back to work full time and thankfully my mental state has improved over the last couple months, but whenever it feels like I get one thing right, another goes wrong, and we all know how that feels. I want to thank everyone just for reading through this and if you can't spare anything, I completely understand and care about you regardless. Thanks y'all ❤️
