I'm Heather, mom to 4 kids, and blogger extraordinaire. I'm very social, I love to make people laugh, and I love food.

But I have a problem. When I was pregnant with my 3rd child, my teeth got VERY sensitive. Since then, they've only gotten worse. It hurts to brush, use mouthwash, drink anything that isn't lukewarm, kiss my husband, and open my mouth to talk when it's cold outside. I can't eat normally because after eating a few bites, my teeth start to hurt so bad that can't chew. I went to the dentist once to have them looked at, and they were so sensitive that even the Novacaine didn't take the pain away. I couldn't make it through the exam, and he said that I have to go to an oral surgeon who can put me under for dental work.

The worst part is how embarrassed I am. I hate meeting my kids teachers, I hate going to social functions, I hate smiling, and I hate that my teeth look like this. Even more, I hate when I'm out of commission for days at a time, and can't take care of my kids because a toothache is so excruciating. Or the thought of getting an infection and dying.

I'm looking for a hero to help me out, but I have a couple of options. I'm willing to travel up to three hours for dental care. I've looked into places around here, and they want an extensive down payment that I can't afford. I can barely pay my bills. I would love if someone could find a dentist within 3 hours of me that would be willing to donate their time to help me smile and eat again. I can't pay money, but I run a blog that has about 20k readers, and I could do an excellent review, and provide advertising for them. Alternately, I'm looking to start a fund to cover some of the expenses of fixing my teeth.

I know that everyone is broke right now, but I all I ask is that if you can't help out by passing this on to a dentist, please share it on Facebook and Twitter, and ask your friends to do the same. All it takes is the ONE right person to see it, and maybe, I can smile again!
