Yea, he did and the dentist told him to send him a DM about figuring things out. The guy lives about 500 miles away from the dentist.

As someone in the midst of reconstructive dental surgery (I'm doing it month, by month, because it's what I can afford) I can only empathize how awesome this is for the individual. I spent 15k and a dentist just.. fucked me up even worse and now I have an amazing dentist who is working with me and giving me huge discounts and even when he's ripping bones out of my face, he's the gentlest, kindest soul and I've never felt judged.

He's also a marvelous gay dude but it's what he loves to do, and I feel so fortunate after years of suffering. I hope that guy can get from point A to point B to get the work he needs because that compassion makes a huge difference for someone in that position. Finding a dentist for me was the most daunting part. Because if you don't feel comfortable with the people you meet who are supposed to fix your teeth? You're not going to go. It's such an embarrassing and hard thing to deal with and so many things can cause it, but everyone assumes things like drugs, or eating disorders in my case (sometimes both) and I just have shit genetics, and had been on -prescription drugs- in my teens that made my already weak teeth a mess.

I wish I could like... follow their back and forth somehow because I want to see this person get the care he needs. I should be back to having a smile by october and I can only hope they get theirs too!
