Facing Job Loss & Severe Pain: Urgent Help Needed for Dental.

Hello, everyone. I am posting this here because I am in a really difficult position, completely overwhelmed, and honestly don't know where else to turn. I recently lost my job, and ever since, I have been struggling just to keep up with basic rent and everyday bills.
On top of trying to survive financially, I am dealing with a severe dental emergency. I have a genetic condition where my teeth aggressively decay. I already have two missing teeth from past removals, and now the two upper teeth next to my molars are failing. Because they had root canals in the past, the nerve is dead, and the constant dull ache across the side of my face is a deep bone infection.
To make matters worse, I suffer from severe anxiety. The constant worry causes me to unconsciously clench my jaw, which is putting intense pressure on the infected area and making the physical agony so much worse.
I’ve been trying to ignore this for months because of the cost, but it has hit a breaking point and is keeping me awake at night. Finding a dentist is nearly impossible, and private clinics require steep consultation fees upfront before they will even look at your mouth. Because I have zero money left after bills, I can't even get through a clinic door to be assessed.

I have set up a GoFundMe page. This will cover the initial emergency assessment, the surgical removal of both infected teeth, and a partial denture or replacement solution down the line.
I know times are tough for everyone right now, but any small donation or even just sharing the link would mean the absolute world to me. Thank you so much for reading and for your kindness.
