A 5th generation San Juan County resident, adult male in his 50’s, is in need of extensive dental work essential to his health and well-being.
​
This community member had extensive dental work done out-of-state several years ago but unfortunately it was done with substandard materials and has completely failed. He was recently referred to an ​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Adopt-A-Mouth
off-island provider.
As a young man in his 20's he was vibrant and full of hope. But then he was in a life threatening accident which resulted in multiple health issues and disabilities that have followed him ever since, including extensive dental issues.
Life has been an uphill battle since his accident, but he has been back in the fold of our community for several years and is currently working part-time for a small local business. However, without dental insurance, the $30k estimate of dental work needed to get his mouth back to a healthy state is completely out-of-reach.
​
He is in constant pain and discomfort and has difficulty eating and maintaining a healthy diet. Additionally, his dental issues have affected his self confidence and impacted his social interactions. As we now know, dental health is paramount to overall health.
​
Please consider helping this long-time islander get back to a place of health, pain-free hope, and vibrancy.
