Hello,
My name is Sebastian Otto. (I list my full name because I find the use of a full name to be more personal when praying for someone) And I'd like to reiterate by saying that i don't often ask for prayers but man I have an issue with a tooth. It is in very bad shape and it is damaged terribly. It's almost embarrassing to smile. But my real issues with it are the pain and the fact that I am worried that it will soon become abscessed and infected. If I were to smile at you, you can see right inside of it as an entire side of the tooth is completely gone. It is my left canine tooth by the way to be more specific. There is a large, gaping hole in it and the pain can go from irritating to horrendous enough that I fight to sleep. Some would probably suggest that I see a dentist, right? Well I would except for the fact that I don't have insurance. I'm in a really broke situation and point right now. I couldn't afford rent on an apartment, let alone dental insurance. So I can do NOTHING about this except just deal with it until it becomes a medical emergency. I'm growing more and more concerned with this every day. To give you an idea of my financial situation, I may have to ask my mother to pay for a dental procedure. And who knows how long that could take? How did my tooth get so bad? Well I suffer with terrible depression and have been in the practice of drinking heavily for nearly the last 7 years now. I am an alcoholic and as of right now I've been sober only 12 days. Though I must say God is certainly working miracles there. I am definitely seeing improvement in that area of my life. Like not feeling the urge to drink as much as I once did. But as a result of drinking large quantities of alcohol and being depressed to a point of not taking care of myself, my teeth have paid a hefty price. So I am desperate here and asking any of you to genuinely throw me a prayer. This tooth is bothering me even as I'm typing this. I've actually been tempted to drink to numb the pain. I know that if anything will kill pain, it's booze. I have joint issues I inherited from my father which also keep me in pain. That, coupled with every other thing i suffer on top of my suicidal thoughts, I'm in rough shape. So please, help brothers and sisters if you could. I need help here. I know how dangerous an infected tooth and gums can be. At its absolute worst, it can even be life threatening on account of the infection being so close to the brain. But I'll try not to let my anxiety get to me on that too much. I appreciate any and all prayers. Thank you.
