Because my job won't schedule me enough to qualify for their employee insurance plan, I've been having to pay for some hefty dental work out of pocket. This has also meant that I have been forced to space out urgent work because I literally cannot afford it. This has just caught up with me, and now I have a missing tooth on one side, and a broken one on the other.

Talking, sleeping, eating, and even breathing through my mouth are now all painful, and my jaw aches nearly constantly. I haven't eaten a full meal in 3 days. I've been trying to have my silly little treats and keep this all to myself, but I'm at a breaking point. I can't sleep. I'm scared and I need help to get out of this hole.

You don't have to send me anything if you don't have it, I already feel so guilty for having to crowdsource this. I do appreciate everyone who has donated already, it's all gone right into paying for this work.

This shit sucks! IDK if it's common knowledge so I'll share; I was also going through this a couple years ago, after 3 years i finally got to chew on both sides again a couple months ago. Wasn't painful the majority of that time for me, but for the couple months that it was, I learned you can safely alternate between ibuprofen and Acetaminophen to help the pain. You can take them at the same time too, but I always saw them wear off before I could take another dose, so alternating had the best coverage even if it didn't always cover up the entirety of the pain. Good luck!! It is absolutely insane dental stuff isn't considered "real healthcare".

Sent you a little money, I hope it helps<3
Dental pain is the absolute worst, I had a cracked wisdom tooth that hurt for so fucking long before I could have it pulled out.
