My name is Kimberly DeCosta. I’m reaching out for help because I have been living in constant pain, misery, and fear due to failed dental implants. My implants keep breaking and coming loose, causing me to choke and even swallow screws at night. I’ve had to live on a soft-food diet for nearly a year because chewing is too painful and dangerous.
I’ve already seen two dentists, including one specialist, and I still need to see more to find someone who can address my serious dental problems. Each visit brings new challenges and expenses, and the bills keep adding up. My dental issues have completely eroded my self-esteem. Talking is hard, I drool constantly, and I’m in pain every day.
My medical and dental history requires specialized care that is beyond what I can afford on my own. I have a history of bruxism (teeth grinding), cancer treatments, and bone degeneration, making proper dental care even more crucial. Yet, my dental concerns have been dismissed, and I have experienced serious negligence along the way.
I have sought legal advice because of this negligence, but my immediate need is to find relief from this constant pain and get my health back on track. My insurance doesn’t cover the full costs, and I can’t move forward without support.
Any contribution will help me cover the costs of seeing the necessary specialists, getting the dental care I need, and finally having a chance to live without fear, pain, and embarrassment. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and for any help you can offer—I truly appreciate it.
There are pictures of how drastically my face has changed.
