My Teeth Need Help

Hi everybody,

As everyone knows by now, I've been making a big effort at taking better care of myself as I kind of neglected my health over the past few years... and it turns out that during that time I developed some pretty serious issues with my teeth/gums. Because of my autoimmune issues, my mouth tends to be "dry" more often than not and I guess that makes cavities for more frequently and can cause some gum disease as well. While I do have health/dental coverage, they will only cover the cost of "medically necessary" things. I had an abscess that was drained and the infection was cleared up with antibiotics but a root canal, post, post extension and crown is needed. MediCal will only cover the cost of the root canal and nothing else, leaving me with a $1900 bill. I also need a deep cleaning and some treatment for my gums to hopefully reverse the damage that has been done and a few fillings to prevent another tooth from ending up like the bad one... this is going to run me another $1100.

I hate to ask for help on something like this, but as a full-time streamer my options are pretty limited... I need to get this dental work done ASAP to prevent it from getting worse. Because of my autoimmune issues something like a tooth infection can get much worse very quick.

The dentist offered me in-house financing but I've got to come up with at least $350 by the day of my appointment, July 14th. The total amount I need to finance is roughly $3200. I don't expect to raise anywhere near the total amount, but if you are able to help out at all, even with a few bucks, all cash donations between now and July 14th will go towards the down payment and will mean I don't have to finance as much which will lower my monthly payment.

All donations can be sent to my streamlabs account https://streamlabs.com/drex23/v2/tip?sl=177&t=48

Thank you for taking the time to read this even if you cannot help in a monetary sense, your friendship and positive vibes will keep me going through all this health BS I have been dealing with... I have the best community on twitch and you all contribute to keeping me going even when the times are tough :)
