Need some help to pay for surgery to extract wisdom teeth
Hey guys, I'm currently in a pickle at the moment trying to scrape together the money to be able to extract my 4 wisdom teeth. I've been to the dentist a couple times due to the pain thinking it was a bad cavity but it turns out I just have a very small jaw and my wisdom teeth are starting to push out my other teeth.
The surgery can range from $800 to $2100 NZD. I'm currently in my first year of university and don't have anywhere near that amount. So far I have sold my ps3 and have roughly $300. I am currently taking pain meds to stop the pain which are quite expensive too. The dentist says theres no chance of keeping my wisdom teeth in as it will just keep pushing my teeth out leading me to get braces and having to remove the wisdom teeth as well.
I could really use some help and it would mean the world to me. I want to be able to smile without having braces or eat without pain.
Thanks for reading. I am looking forward to when I can financially support myself enough to assist others.
EDIT: Thanks to the one person who gave me $5. It really means a lot and it feels good to know some people care. Paypal is the easiest method for me since I live in new Zealand. Hopefully I won't have to wait too long to get my teeth out and end up in braces.
Edit2: Unfortunately I got no other donations but I talked to a insurance company and sorted out half of the costs. I was also able to scrape together some from my savings/asked my dad if he could help.
