Teeth issues are insanely tough. Affects your whole body and mind. Really sorry to hear it but I hope we can raise what you need for a better quality of life soon!
Thank you Codex. I can’t wait to eat my first meal without pain. Soon. ❤️
I don’t know where you’re located. But when a family member needed extensive dental work including implants placed, they went to Mexico to save costs. If you need help locating a reliable dentist/ oral surgeon there. I have contacts to help. I understand travel may not be possible for you.
20 years is a long time. It’s been bad for about 4 now. Long past due.
After my last round of antibiotics, all sorts of health issues vanished almost like they went into remission. I’m thinking I’ve been dealing with infection a long long time.
Small amounts add up. Send a brother some love. ❤️
View quoted note →Ouch 4 yrs is a long time. My wife had a similar issue. It gets to the point where you don't even realize you're in pain half the time, though it's reflected in your mood and energy levels.
Glad antibiotics cleared it for now. But I'm sure it'll come back again if you don't get the root (no pun intended) problem solved. 😬
Having big issues with mine and no dentists available, so costs are going to be high when I can get the work done, so I totally get your position, though it sounds like you've got it even worse than me 😭 good luck with the fundraiser 🤞🙏
It’s insane
I’m trying not to cry over the help already. I hope you are able to find a dentist soon. What part of the world do you hail from?
I'm on the south coast in the UK, in the absolute actual worst city in the UK for dentistry 😆 I almost got the work done in Spain back in 2020 when I had more money but then...yeah. 2020.
Boy did things turn on a dime that year.
a lot of 🦷 issues post-covid
Show this person LOVE

Pain is temporary, so is joy
I wish u the best
good you are speaking up cate
If you don't raise enough to cover the expense, most medical debt can be negotiated into a very reasonable payment plan.
You can usually negotiate to pay a very small amount per month. Generally as long as you continue to pay, they are fine with the reasonable payment plan. Much different than other types of debt as far as I know.
+1
Wishing you the best 💚
20 years?! 👀 Best of luck. 👍
You need to seriously think about coming to Mexico and get that. I have severe rheumatoid arthritis that led to bone loss and problems all over including losing perfectly good teeth.
They removed them all and gave me a plate denture for $500 usd cash. Yes this was 10 years ago but I'm sure you'll be blown away not just by price but the surgeons are top notch all over Mexico with Guadalajara known for their schools of dentistry.
Many, many people do dental and medical tourism in Mexico. Look it up and good luck.
*hug*
Blast heavens with prayers and you know what to do with the Zap.

I have this honest feeling that the Bitcoin Plebs can do more for you if you give us the exact medical diagnosis instead.
I gave you what I had. I don’t know what the condition is, or how to put it in simple terms. My teeth have been falling apart since I was a teen. I had regular cleanings, etc and they just started crumbling. A lot of work was put in over the years trying to slow it, but within a year or two, every filling, etc would fail.
It is the opinion of the last two dentists I’ve seen that the teeth are no longer worth saving. I have shards of teeth or teeth broken off below the gum line. Meanwhile my roots hook, and the tops protrude into my sinus cavity.
I went to see the best reviewed surgeon in my area, and my family has past experience with him (my dad’s teeth did the exact same thing). He explained the risks, complications, and costs. It’s the only thing I know. I hope that helps explain it, but dental is a bit over my head.
Thank you so much brother. I’m overwhelmed right now. It’s hard for me to fathom people even caring. ❤️
Thank you ❤️
I’m going to be so glad to put this in the past.
Jay OMG. 😳 Thank you. I’m naming a tooth after you.
10000 sats to you. I hope the dentist accepts sats or otherwise you sell and crash the price oh no
Good luck. Finance it if you can and let BTC do the rest. See if the will take a payment plan over 12-24 months so zaps today will cover it or most of it when the bull runs. And it will run.
If they won’t and don’t require 100% up front; just don’t pay it right away and eventually they WILL accept a payment plan or won’t get paid.
Good thinking. I’m going to call them tomorrow and see what we can work out.
😬
Hope not. Would be fun to orange pill the surgeon.
Alright, sorry to hear that... could you send a picture if you are okay with it?
My mother in law had to have the same type of work. It’s expensive as all hell. Like buying a car expensive.
Payment plans are a thing. Also look at international travel as an option. Depending on where you live the same work can be done as well or even better and much less expensively in another country.
Teeth are important. Very.
🙏God speed.
You're welcome ✌️🧡🙏
My grandmother has no more teeth left, and she always reminds me, "દાંત સાચવજો. Treasure your teeth."
What kind of picture?
True words. I get onto family members similarly. I’m not quite at the point of toothbrushes in Christmas stockings, but I’m close.
Thanks again brother. We will try to look at options if it can reduce the cost. I have a few plebs who will help with names, etc.
Wow you are getting some serious donations
Wish you all the best man 🫂
Thank you brother. So much ❤️
It’s going to be a huge help. I may be able to get something going much sooner now.
That's great. Would you mind boosting our recent zapraiser?
I haven’t used them but you could look at unchained as a way to borrow against your bitcoin instead of selling it to pay for the surgery. I believe it’s multi sig so you still see your bitcoin there.
I’ll look them up. Thanks. 🙏
He be like send bobs.
I'm sorry I hope you feel better. You reached out to awesome people! I'm sure people will help. There's also a thing about getting new teeth it's probably expensive but it's probably better than dentures
New teeth? 🦷
Like implants? Or real teeth.
If you have any problems with your teeth I suggest you to come here to Hungary. We have cutting edge, state of the art medical treatment. A complete "health tourism" business based on mainly dental treatment, balneotherapy, and so on. (Believe me, Hungary is no more a part of the "Eastern Block" as the west called the socialist countries. There is no socialism in Hungary from 1990, we are member of the EU from 2004).
So, many of the Americans come here, also Europeans. Regarding the medical treatment it is much cheaper, including the flight and hotel and/or hospital costs (not USD13000, it is horribly expensive). For example, I have a very professional dentist, he made me implants 10 years ago, perfect. But there are many Hungarian dentists advertises worldwide.
My brother lived in the US and later in Canada, and he had problems with teeth and eyes too. He calculated the costs and decided to come home just for to treat himself.
If you want more infos DM me. I swear I am not interesed in this business I cant get any commission :-) (even it would be disgusting to earn money from other's health problem)
TheSameCat with sore teeth is not the same cat. We’re all rootin’ for a successful surgery!
Some day maybe I’ll get some with long k9s. Lol
Thank you brother. I will reach out. Right now we are discussing in the family if we think travel is on the table. There are definitely good reasons to consider it.
Yeah implants
What kind of a world do we live in where I believe it could’ve been real teeth. 🤣
Not much but hope it helps
Every bit does. Thank you 🙏
I’m from Mexico & I concur.
Dentistry for foreigners in Mexico is a huge industry …
Hopefully this is an option for you as I’m sure it would definitely be less of a burden.
My wife has dental issues and we did a dental supplement plan where we live that has helped exponentially with her costs overall. Not sure where you are but you can write off health expenses from your taxes if they hit around 7% of your income I think
I need to check with my accountant, but I think we will be close. I’ll look at that. Thanks 🙏
⚡️
@ᴄʏʙᴇʀɢᴜʏ 👽 has a really good point, in Europe it would be way cheaper, there are many countries you could consider going to, it would potentially cut the price to atleast have if not 1/3
🙏
Thank you
There’s lots of extras right?
That's in US so check for you. Make sure you keep all your receipts for any healthcare costs from the year in case of audit and include costs in itemized filing
😂
👇Consider a friend in need...👇
View quoted note →Btw: about 20 years... I had had a pain in my spine for more than 20 years, caused by an accident when I was a soldier. But fortunately I have been operated ang got titanium implants, thanks to a Hungarian professor who has worldwide patent of a nw type of spine implants. I remember the pain so I feel for you!
I concur, other countries such as Mexico for sure. People sometimes think they get less care in Mexico, that is nearly always the opposite. Much better care, and much cheaper.
Of your teeth
Stay strong and Get well soon! 🧡💜
Heard of Crowdhealth? You might be able to get it funded through that, but I'm not sure how long you'd need to be a member for that to work.
Also look into Thailand. It's not the 3rd world country people think it is when it comes to medicine, dentals, etc.
I second that. The medical system here saved my wife.

Be well. Hope all goes well. 🫂
If you live in the US, Dental Schools will often have lower cost clinics that do that kind of work for less, in exchange for you letting students/residents train alongside the Oral surgeon doing the work.
Done 🤙🏻🫂
🫂
Done!
Best wishes!
Definitely look into prices in other countries out of pocket even with travel could come out to way cheaper and still get good care. Hope your able to get it taken care of and feel better 💜. My cousin lives in the states but has gone to Brazil to get some costly dental work done and it has saved him a lot of money.
Thank you brother 🙏
I appreciate you. 🙏
Glad to help..hope it all works out for you. I saw the note about Mexico. I don’t have any experience with that, but I’ve heard
@Susiebdds talk about the disparity of dental costs in Central and South America vs the USA. It’s crazy to think how different the costs are.
It really is. I imagine a whole lot of things affect things like that.
I am so much happier after having the rest of my teeth pulled last year. I spent far too much time in pain due to one problem or another. It's an inconvenience, for sure, and I was hesitant to have it done, but it's much better not having the pain.
It’s going to be pretty different from what my dad has explained. Anything I should watch out for at first?
🫂
Crowdheath is great. I'm a member.
@CrowdHealth how would this work?
100% this
@nobody You can get the surgical extractions + the all on 6 implant dentures for much less than your extractions alone in Mexico or Columbia. I am happy to help guide you if you decide to go that route.
I have a dentist friend in Mexico City who charges almost the same for crowns as our lab cost for a crown. I couldn’t touch his prices. American dentists like to say that it’s because the work is inferior or dangerous/not sanitary. My friend has a nicer, more modern office than most US dentists I know and does beautiful dental work.
I know everyone is saying go out of the US to have this done but what they’re not considering is that this will take 9-12 months, requiring at least 4-8 appointments. May require sinus lifts, etc. fitting dental appliances, creating crowns for implants, the abutments, this is not an overnight process. This is months, and months, and months of trial and error.
It may be cheaper but the constant travel is something to consider.
🫂
❤️
Medical and dental tourism in Mexico is a great option. I'm in Southern California and I go down there for my dental needs. It's way cheaper than the US and the work they do is exceptional
Was wondering who was blowing up nodeless the past 24 hours, it was you and the nostriches 😄
Get well soon anon
Not much, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!
heeee's baaaaack
Zapped a few sats your way. Hope you get the help you deserve. Take care!
I've been reading the jaw book. I do things to sleep with my mouth closed.
my dad recently got 6 implants for 5k EUR, it's hard to spend so much on it but it's definitely better then being without teeth. he wishes he fixed it long ago when the issues were still small. good luck with it sent you a small donation
Thank you ser. ❤️
Thank you so much. It’s going to be a big transition but at this point very worth it.
Sending positive vibes , and wishing the best outcome for such a difficult situation. 🫂💫💜⚡️
Thank you Onyx. ❤️❤️❤️
💜💜💜
Wow. So sorry you have been chronic pain.
🫂
I wish you all the best and good health🫂
Not exactly but I like the tought xD
I regulalry perform oral surgeries that sound like what you need. Where are you located? Maybe I can help more directly. Feel free to DM or set up a Simplex chat and we can discuss if you'd like.
Done🤙 hope it all gets resolved
oh no. so sorry to hear you're in pain. hope this procedure can happen quickly and you have a fast recovery 🫂💜
Thank you Ava. I hope so too. It’ll certainly happen sooner now.
Upon reflection I recognize that it was weird of me an an anon to offer to perform surgery on you lol. Offer still stands though if you're feeling lucky 😂
Wait you are dentist right...
Yep, retired but still a dentist.
Hecho.
Que te cures
