Hello everybody, let me start by saying thank you for even taking the time out of your busy day to stop and read what’s going on with me and why I’m asking for help, I appreciate you. My name is joanna I’m 22 years old and I have an extensive history with dental appointments from the time I was a child into my adult life, when I was born I was adopted the second I was born because my mom had a severe drug addiction which lead to my genetic cavities all my life; I have taken care of my teeth all of my life to the best of my ability but I can only do so much about the cause of this. In January of 2020 i attempted to take my own life and was almost taken from this world. This depression lead to me becoming unmotivated and discouraged and I started to fail in taking care of myself. My teeth have started to rot and I have missing teeth because of it. I have about 10 fillings in my mouth but I can never afford to get them capped because of my insurance and the circumstances in my life.
about 2 years ago I was informed my wisdom teeth needed to be removed because they are impacted….. my wisdom teeth are so severe that my nerve is too close to my tooth on both sides and I would have to be put to sleep because if i move there is a risk of of my face going numb for the rest of my life. I’m young, I love to talk and smile and laugh and try new foods and make funny faces at babies to make them giggle, I love my mouth and my teeth and I can’t have this get any worse than it already is turning.
I don’t ever ask for help like this, I’m embarrassed; I just don’t know what to do anymore besides pray
i thank you all in advance and forever ❤️-
Joanna
