This is a real problem in the US. Accessible healthcare is important.

[@mortenjusk]

the majority of americans rather pay less taxes so they can buy a bigger car, than making sure that noone should suffer the pain from tootheaches and worse.

[@Martin-vh3ei]

+mojusk 'Murica!

[@saltylonelyboy3533]

It could be for any reason, honestly. Even for a porn subscription XD

[@prometheushippopotimi3076]

yeah... its fucked up that this is happening in a first world nation

[@silversurfer8818]

If Bernie Sanders was president, nobody would have dental problems!

[@DeejusGames]

To ignorant people saying its Asmons fault- tooth longevity is actually genetic. So, it's very easy for you silver spoonfeds to blame him, while your mommy & daddy pay for your bi-annual cleaning and filler replacements. Asmon is doing his best to overcome the circumstances. While a lot of y'all silver spoons can't even deal with getting the wrong present for Christmas.

[@Grathom15]

I agree with what you're saying, but you sound like a bitter, jealous poor guy. Only bringing yourself down with the pissy-pants attitude.

[@scolamiero28]

literally saw you make a bullshit "Obama care is free" comment like 20 minutes ago......make up your mind do you support him or not

[@EhtaZUGGE]

They don't have to pay when it's free :)

[@garma7939]

I dont think this is a fair point in this case, the guy drinks so much soda, what do you expect.

[@thirtysilver33]

It isn't free -- some sucker is paying for it.

[@tormdemoniax4354]

I respect this dude a lot especially when he said : I don't like telling what I'm going to do, I like to tell people when I'm done.

[@carmen_nem]

TormDemoniax that was like insta respect for me

[@tormdemoniax4354]

Carmen_nem Pretty much was for nearly everybody

[@stylusnc]

TormDemoniax I'm right there with you, it's a great way to look at things

[@JimmyJoints]

I think the quote that made me have respect was, "Never Stop Going, Big Dick" Just kidding I agree that is a good way to look at things

[@sambo9287]

Correcting people.... CRINGEWORTHY.

[@JordanRants]

'I don't like telling people what I'm going to do. I like telling people what I've done.' - Asmongold. I love you bro. You're a great inspiration.

Such an amazing dude!

Put your health first. We'll be here! Hope things go well for you and get well soon brother

[@Kerrigan1000]

Your health and your family. Two things you can't really get back if you lose them. Take care of them.

[@AsocPaladin0016]

Dude, I have been watching you since I started wow. You are one of the main reasons that I still love the game. I remember running in to you in Stormshield and freaked the fuck out. You are my fucking hero and I hope you get better soon! With love, a fellow warrior.

[@blaircox5628]

Gaaaayyyyy

What is wrong with a little MAN LOVING

[@oosmexypandaoo4194]

Its sad that in this day and age people can be so shallow.

[@MrAcrobot]

Im balding too 22, and i have some teeth problems as well. But never stop going big dick.

[@MrAcrobot]

When things get hard, you get harder. Hmm that is my philosophy too. Thought I forget sometimes...

[@USNEM]

MrAcrobot but is your dental issue a genetic problem? Or hygiene?

[@TheWtfnonamez]

You have my sympathies mate. I have always had problems with my teeth. I brush, do the whole thing right... but still they crack, or get problems. I think people dont realise how much genetics affects this.

[@TheWtfnonamez]

I like you already dude.

[@TheWtfnonamez]

JackM12345100 yeah Patrick Stewart went bald in his 20s ....he embraced it. Kept getting acting parts for older characters and now he is Jean Luc Pickard. FYI girls like what they like on any particular guy. But as a rule..... have hair if you got it, shave youre head if your bald.... girls like all hair... apart from "bald guy who pretends hes not bald". Just dont look like you are pretending. Girls will like you if you are nice.....even if your bald ... smile and be awesome.

[@Voidtrix]

As a kid growing up i always loved to smile, i was always proud of my teeth and loved to flash a smile whenever i could. As i got older my teeth started to really take a turn on me. When i was 16 it really hit hard. I couldn't smile anymore because my teeth were breaking even from eating a dorito. I was born with a calcium deficiency and i'm also lactose intolerant so i had to take calcium pills and they didnt work, I was absolutely depressed from this. I could't smile, laugh or anything without covering my face or feeling ashamed of what my teeth looked like. I felt ugly and so embarrassed as a human being. I lived with all that you described in this video for 5 years. One day my dad saved up enough money so i could get my teeth fixed, the dentist didnt know what to do because of the shape they were in. I felt absolutely broken. I told him to please do all he could no matter what because i wanted to be comfortable around people again and smile, i didnt care about the pain. 70+ shots in my gums, 30 fillings, 8 x-rays, 6 teeth pulled, over the past year and a half of my appointments, it was finally over. My teeth till this day arent in the best shape and ill have to have dentures by the time im 30 and im only 22, i still smile because i went through so much pain mentally and physically. It was worth it, but it will be something i have to do for the rest of my life or until i do have dentures. Every day i laid in bed in pain, with cuts and repairs and bleeding from all of the work done to my mouth. I watched your channel. You made me laugh and gave me entertainment when i felt like a fucking loser and i felt like an abnormal human being. You made those painful days better and i want to thank you for it.

[@treybagley4024]

Much respect

[@Xendrius]

Yo mr atheist, calcium from milk is garbage. We were not programmed to drink the tit juice of pregnant cows.

[@sparkkoo0]

[@scolamiero28]

I've never heard him beg once

[@Kishkumen1337]

Asmongold is great but how is he an inspiration lol ?

[@marshallfox7925]

because he's making it as a streamer/content creator. making a living doing what he loves. supporting his mother and keeping a roof over their heads, and flushing out the haters who think he's just a balding anorexic mooching off of his mom, when that's really not the truth at all (except for the balding part lul)

[@donyullmora5527]

I feel you brother.. I had an accident at work. a metal strap sliced my eye from an O to a C. I lost most my sight in that eye and because of it my gf of ten years left me. I know that I have lost lots of confidence in myself but now I don't care what people think about me nobody is perfect for one reason or another. am I self conscious about it, yes but I will not let it get to me. ... stay up brother

[@SadBirbHours]

Holy shit. That's fucking dire mate. Ill drink to a better future for you.

[@darkorys8012]

I mean no disrespect to your girlfriend, but if she left you for that shit then maybe it was a mistake to date her, Those situations are which show someones true colours, and probably you'll be better off without her anyways, Good luck m8

[@lakalie19]

Don't get why your gf would leave you over that sounds like she did you a favour leaving not a nice person!

[@plclol]

[@andresybarra8668]

Stay up my man! I know I don't know you but I believe in you!

[@richardrhodes9664]

You know, Zack, I have only been watching your videos for around a year now but it feels like you've been a daily part of my life for a lot longer. I remember the first video I saw, where you got people on your stream when you discovered the magical fruit hat.. I've played wow since vanilla and I'm only 20, so wow has pretty much always been a part of my life. That said, I had never really been involved in the wow community. I mostly played with my dad and some people from school. I had dropped off in my involvement in wow for a while and it was you that made me come back.. I had watched sodapoppin videos a long time ago, but his videos, and the videos on most other prominent Warcraft channels didn't do for me what you seem to capture on your channel. I've always appreciated your perspective on things. Everything you have to say seems to resonate with a part of me I feel like not many people understand. I really became invested in your channel during your iron man challenge days. I sent your ironman character mail with an inside joke that I had between me and some of my friends, and they lost their shit when they heard you mention the infamous "Pasta Palace". Soon after that I had a series of run-ins with you in battlegrounds, and even though you wrecked my shit it was a cool experience to see you in game. I bought BDO just to join Murica and have the opportunity to play with you. sorry for rambling.. I just wanted to let you know that you have made a big impact on my life, and I am elated that you are able to do something so big for yourself thanks to your success. I'm excited to see smile more often man because you have put a smile on my face many times before. Good luck with the remainder of your procedures, and I hope everything goes well!

[@DrespoTV]

yo dude who the f cares! Its just some teeths we aint gonna bully you! love you bud. Keep doing what you do.

[@peacethroughacoustics3163]

They didn't know when the video starts.

[@DirtCheapFU]

People see that too many people like something, and refuse to acknowledge that something is not dislike-able. So, they choose to dislike in the feign of not being part of a bandwagon.

[@JohnSmith-sj6hi]

[@kristianbuus2934]

Hopefully misscklick

[@Lizard1582]

I have teeth problems as well, Zack. A combination of weak enamel and depression has really hit my self-esteem for a long time. Glad you're making a real effort to get them fixed.

[@BlVaZe]

Holy fuck man.. I can't even describe how much i can relate to you. When i was 15, i lost my 4 front teeth and 2 low teeth. I got tackled during football and hit the steel fences face first... I couldn't afford to get it fixed, i couldn't go out anymore. Something that's so easily fixed ruined my whole life. I quit HS , i didn't go out anymore. All i wanted was to be home and play WoW all day. Now several years after recently getting it fixed, i'm working on getting my life back on track. This video motivated me even more tbh... I know it's 2019 and this video is 3 years old. But i'm glad i found it. Thank you. Love and respect from belgium

[@progamer444]

you are a boss homie, i will always support you. dont let anyone get you down, you are an amazing dude and deserve the best.

[@OldBurnzy]

it has only been 5 days...

[@L0Qk1]

it's been known and said, "1 minute on the Internet is one day IRL." Do the math.

[@Savagefox0893]

OldBurnzy he hasn't streamed longer than that bro

[@dkemil]

its been over 2 weeks dude

[@Toxiicus]

He has not been streaming over 2 weeks and YT videos can be from a moment of smaller painr or backlogged

[@johanballaz]

I've seen twitch channels die because they stopped streaming for a week. It wouldn't happen to asmongold because he has a big following, but it's still quite a long time for the internet. It's hard to stay relevant on the internet.

[@JinxiiMinx]

I feel your pain, man (literally). I spent about... 3-4 years with broken back molars... half of that time was just one on one side, then the other half was another on the opposite side. I had to cut back on so many different foods, couldn't eat properly for the duration and all because I simply couldn't afford dental care and didn't have insurance. I still don't. I only recently came into some money to start getting work done and although I still have much to do, I've had two crowns done and finally have no holes in my teeth... still a couple root canals and cavity fillings to do, though... still thousands away from completion. :/ The pain I went through was fucking ridiculous, I had several trips to the ER just begging them to give me something to take the pain away, which of course they couldn't really do without me spending a shit ton of money. Moral of this mini-novel is the US is fucking ridiculous when it comes to dental care. It's not covered in 98% of states because it's considered "cosmetic"... It absolutely baffles me why there is yet to be a line drawn between "Please whiten my teeth Sir/Madaam" vs "My teeth are rotting out, they're infected and I feel like I'm fucking dying." Yes, plenty of dental procedures can be considered purely cosmetic but when it comes to infections caused by abscesses and more? It's _literally deadly_ at times. How the _fuck_ is that cosmetic?! I swear, if it were a realistic option I'd get he fuck out of the US. This country has been shit for a while now but it's gone to hell in a hand basket 50 times over now. Anyway, thanks- if anyone actually read my little story or gave a shit. Most people won't, but that's fine. I hope you feel better soon Asmongold. Only the sickest of human beings deserve to endure pain like that, and you're definitely not one of them. :/

[@liammurphy7140]

Sir, I can only imagine how hard it was for you and your family to endure the sad state of your health. For such a thing to go on for so long must have been a hard struggle for you all. You took the decision to postpone your immediate needs and consider the wider needs of your loved ones. House first/Mother first... you, whenever it became possible. Enduring and hoping that one day things will come right is something that many of us have to do sooner or later. You had/have had a sore test of character very early in life and I applaud you. It can be a long road back to feeling good about yourself, chronic pain diminishes us in so many ways. I am touched that you shared this with us. I wish you and yours all the very best for the future. We love you man, and cherish your humanity and bravery. Looking forward to seeing a lot more of you. Peace.

[@aadas4007]

It makes me quite sad to see that average guys like you cannot afford health care in your country. It's really fucked up from my perspective. I know I know, you American's keep pressing against this issue since "nothing is free" but if everyone needs it, why not have it for everyone. The medical prices in the US are partly as fucked up as they are simply because you as a customer have very little negotiation possibilities whereas as a country's health care system you can discuss every penny on certain procedures.

[@DeejusGames]

yeah USA has healthcare in favor of the wealthy instead of in favor of human lives

[@oosmexypandaoo4194]

Makes NHS in the U.K. (where I'm from) actually seem great.

[@scolamiero28]

Aadas yea it sucks I live in a state where it's illegal to not have health insurance, and I cannot afford it. I unwillingly break the law everyday I wake up.

[@DeejusGames]

Actually genetics play a big role on the longevity of people's teeth. Yes personal care is a factor, but genetics are an equally important factor. Secondly, if your genetic line is prone to decay, root canals & crowns , with insurance, can still average out to be $500-$1,000 per tooth. Which it sounds like Asmon is supporting himself, that's a lot of money for a young 20s adult.

[@Azra3lzGaming]

Obama care is affordable

[@Asmongold_CatDany]

sad

[@xayeejordy5067]

catdany

[@Ayecie.]

For those of you who have never had a real toothache, it's no joke. I've had to get a root canal because a cavity I had had gotten to the root of my tooth but before the procedure I was feeling the worst pain in my life, hurts from your head to the bottom of your spine, makes you want to rip your head off, any slight change in temperature destroys you, you can pass out, painkillers work but you have to take like 6 a day to feel nothing. The fact that Asmonngold suffered this for 6 years for the house and his mother is a testament to how good of a person he is.

[@daniel44840]

Fuck yeah brother I completely feel you, growing up my whole life without healthcare, I recently got a job that allowed me to get my teeth fixed, 7 teeth removed in total, root canal on the 2 molars left. I went through 8 years of excruciating pain as you did. I completely feel you. Also not wanting to show people what was wrong I would act like I had migraines in public. It was horrible. I can't believe I met someone else who has the same story as I do. Bless you brother and I feel you completely. 100%

[@LargerSlippy]

I have so much respect for you Asmongold. You are the most honest, respectful, kind streamer/youtuber I know. I will be donating next time you stream with what I can, You have provided so much entertainment for me I feel like its time to pay you back for that. I wish you the best of luck with everything and lets hope you wont be in pain for much longer! I fucking love you dude.

[@Gaidenn]

Damn, actually hearing what happened to you just made it 10x worse than not knowing. Glad everything is going to go away soon. Thank you for putting through everything to make content and stream for us. It's amazing that you were able to pay for your bills and taking care of your mother. Thank you so much.

[@chickensuspenders1986]

you're actually a pretty cool dude.

[@noneedforpants2]

It gets better Asmon, I can relate. Four years ago I finally landed a job that had good dental insurance. I had gone over ten years without even seeing a dentist or having coverage until this job. Over the last 3 years I've had nearly 20 fillings done, a root canal, an extraction, wisdom teeth pulled, and tons of cleanings. I'm finally in a better place mentally and I can tell you that you'll get there soon. Don't be discouraged and keep focus on this path of repair. You're not less of a person at all and you shouldn't think of yourself as one of "those" people. Having missing teeth isn't a big deal and its pretty damn common anywhere you go. You'll have long stretches where it seems like you're going to the dentist every fucking week and it will feel horrible. Don't go crazy on the meds just because they give them to you. Listen and follow all of the advice the dentists and hygienists give you. Recovery is the hard part, the procedures are silly easy. Never give up. Never stop going big dick.

[@pj24794]

felt like he was gonna cry at certain parts, stay strong

[@marcusjennings1781]

I know how you feel. I live in the US, and my first year of college I was diagnosed with a heart condition. This was only months before getting kicked off my parents insurance. I had to use my financial aid and local scholarships to get enough healthcare to live pretty much. I take medicine and am able to go to the health department for refills, but I just can't afford any tests to make sure my condition is not worse. I'm sure its worse though, some days I am pretty much disabled. I just have to pray I live each day to the next until something changes or I eventually die from it.

[@AbusiveCactus]

I have bad teeth entirely because I neglected to brush my teeth enough. I haven't been to the dentist since I was 8 or 9. Now nearly 10 years later my teeth are screwed and I'm always in pain. It's great to hear that you're getting it taken care of.

[@seamonsta_]

I know this is pretty old now but man this hurts so hard for me. I have such similar life circumstances and my teeth are fucked due to it,. along with my mental health. Shit sucks but hey were not all given the golden path to livelihood. Thanks for being an inspiration man. Much love

[@MacMarvin]

YEEEE BOI, My main man. Great to see you again, best of luck

[@MistahMOB]

Bro your teeth don't make you asmondgold. Your content, your energy, your REALNESS, your knowledge of your content n your dedication to your fans and your channel makes you the one and only Asmondgold. That's a win in my book homie. Keep up the great work and stay on the right path! Stoked for the next videos and streams

[@livvw]

Asmongold, I'm really glad you made this video. You're a great youtuber and streamer and I'm glad you decided to do both. You have a great personality because it feels genuine. I realize you do go to school as well and I hope that these operations don't interfere too much with that as well. Hope the pain goes away man.

[@Rainy333]

I live in a country with free healthcare, but dental work isn't even partially covered. I have for many years struggled with similar problems. My teeth are still there, but only partially. They have been eroding away and breaking for years, and with severe phobia for dental work I avoided it. When I finally sought help (with full anesthesia) I was told it'd cost me 100k nok (about 12k usd). Lucky for me I got a diagnosis and a lot of help finally, so I am going under at the end of November getting shit fixed, for free! I am terrified, but ecstatic. I'll be able to eat on both sides of my mouth, and not live in fear that the intense pain will come back and not be stopped by pills. To some degree I can understand what is going on here, and I'm legit happy for you! :)

[@CARLSOLBERG]

why dont you just brush your teeth?

[@boundbytimettv2684]

Ayo Asmon! Glad to see you back

[@kibagami25]

I'm going through the same thing as you. Dental care is so expensive that i cannot afford it. All my money goes to my kids and all there care. Almost all my teeth rotted out and i have nightmares at night having no teeth.

[@wyrmtung8700]

Sounds like you should have used condoms and focused on a career before you had kids. Can't stand people that complain about things they allow. It's sad that a few thousands dollars is "expensive" to a parent...all you scrubs living paycheck to paycheck have no excuse. Peasants for hundreds of years have been able to rise up to high ranking samurai or feudal lords. Yet current day with SO MANY resources and freedoms you stay a peasant and complain about being so.

[@wyrmtung8700]

Want to know what's noble? Keeping your pants on until you can properly provide for a family. Should have sacrificed lust instead of dental care poor kids probably have to go to community college. A noble sacrifice would be selling his teeth to feed kids in Africa.

[@wyrmtung8700]

Shouldn't complain about all your money going to your kids when it's your fault they exist in the first place. BAM complaining about what they allowed. Control your genitals people and stop bringing others into this world if you can't even manage your own teeth.

[@wyrmtung8700]

could start by not complaining about the now(because they got themselves there) could be spending time on the Internet to better their situation. Instead they are taking the luxury of posting youtube comments. They could go to a free dentist event that are held twice annually just about everywhere. Your flailing to protect the honor of a schmuck. You've missed my point entirely btw.

[@Raistlin182]

You are a fucking moron if you think peasants worked real hard and became lords and samurai. My mind is blown by the epic stupidity that you actually spent time typing. Open a history book before you spout nonsense.

[@Chileno6921]

I have no idea who you are... but I really respect you after watching this.

[@bbpyno]

I'm so glad that you shared a big part of your story with the community. It takes courage and much more. We love you as a youtuber, a gamer but more importantly as a decent human being. You've shown great power not giving up and trying to climb the ladder no matter what. I've suffered from severe depression myself, lasted about 6 years until i was hospitilized. I got ECT(they electrucute your brain basically) After that i defeat depression and finally graduated from college after 8 years. Now i am looking for a job. I know i will get it and i know you will get where you want to be. Stay strong and big dick!

[@michaelthomas7606]

Don't be ashamed brother, everyone comes across challenges. I'm glad it's working for you. Keep it up. Respect.

[@JMMDD]

Shoutout to everyone living in the U.K with free health and dental care funded by the NHS 🇬🇧

[@Zorayah]

You say that but I have a similar cracked tooth issue and I'm stuck on an NHS waiting list and have been told to stay there because apparently near 24/7 aches are not an emergency :)

[@Rooarback]

Every NHS dentist I had was so bad I went private. This is obviously not to say there are no good NHS dentists but as far as I'm concerned it is worth the extra money for something as important as teeth.

[@Craul08]

Dental isn't free at all unless your a child or on benefits.

[@iHitchiti]

You just earned a sub. I don't watch Twitch too often, but you are on my favorites now. So if I ever watch a stream, it will be yours. Massive respect to you, man. Good luck with everything you do!

[@ravenna6543]

As someone dealing with this EXACT issue right now, good on ya. I am just starting to have teeth pulled and repaired in the coming months and I am scared tbh. But I am also ecstatic to be able to smile again once all the work is done. This popped up on my recommended feed the same day I went to the dentist to get my treatment plan. serendipitous.

[@harper2181]

Respect. I have two Lateral Incisors missing and I am losing more slowly. I have lost a lot of confidence myself and relate to a lot of what you said. My mother is an alcoholic and we have always not had money. I am currently trying to save to get something done. But anyways, thank you for revealing this to us. Respect and best wishes.

[@lordpunriq]

Hey, Asmongold! I've only been with you for maybe 4-6 months, but I appreciate this channel emmensly. I appreciate howyou have helped me grab my achivements and even more. You don't need to explain shit to anyone, good sir. You are the badass you are, despite unwanted criticism. Love you Brother.

[@christopherhanson1984]

I currently have a swollen cheek from an infection in a tooth I couldn't afford to have pulled a month ago and have had some issues with my teeth over the past few years. so this video is oddly uplifting and motivational. thanks man. hope the pain stops for you soon and good job putting mommagold first

[@KitKatNisa]

Dude, HUGE respect for pulling through dealing with all this. I've got the same kind of issue going on, young me was kinda lazy/dumb and decided brushing my teeth wasn't as fun as staying up playing games and then passing out, and by the time I was smart enough to realize how important that is, it was too late to just "brush" the problem away. This video definitely encouraged me to keep pulling until I get to the point where I can afford dental care. Thanks for the video, and glad to see you back to going big dick in WoW

[@TheFoodieCutie]

You're the man Asmongold. Always liked you always will. You tell it like it is. Keep trucking bro!

[@DarkownerMinimalist]

Press F for respect. I like you, please don`t give up on this.

[@DrDaMoZ]

I've had teeth problems myself that took about 6 months to renovate. Hurts like fuck, both having shitty teeth for years and getting them fixed. You might not be able to eat solids for a while, gums might flare up and add extra pressure, they might drill into nerves on accident or need to do a root canal if things are really messed up and if you're like me you could be very resistant to tranquilizers and painkillers so you'll get a front row seat on the paintrain! That said you're one insanely brave (or bravely insane) dude who made a huge personal sacrifice so his mother would have a roof above her head. You've already done more for her than many of us will do for our parents in a lifetime. I'd say take all the rest you need, you obviously deserve it (and need it).

[@TheRealLink]

Moderately long time viewer of your channel, man. Wanted to say that having the guts, wherewithal, and courage to make a video like this to just explain your circumstances is commendable. Few would probably go to such a direct level with their audience but yet, you're choosing to share your story here. I wish you best of future health and hope things get better for you!

[@BeanstalkBabe]

Teeth or no teeth, we love you to bits dude. And for that sort of a decision you get mad respect. We all love you man and I hope everything goes well for you from here.

[@MajimaFamily05]

That's real talk bro... One of the realest dudes streaming

[@jonathanbince6410]

I'm sorry you had to go through this Zack. Thanks for letting us in on it. We actually do care about you, even though we spam the chat and troll. Can't wait for your stream tonight

[@benp9793]

it takes a real nigga to make a video like this

[@Toxikgames]

I know where youre coming from man, pretty much in the same boat. Just recently got back on dental insurance so hopefully i can get things fixed, but I dont really smile much because i dont want people to see my messed up teeth. Thanks for making this video though, it helps to know other people go through this shit too and make it out just fine.

[@sarahh2072]

That's awesome, I realize this is 7 years old but it's cool to see your whole journey. I just found you through one of your other channels so all this content is new to me.

[@donkeydonkey33]

props for putting out a real video like this

[@RankinAuctions]

Glad you're not drunk in jail, ya anorexic ghost. Good to have you back.

[@TickaTacka]

I watched this video and immediately got up and brushed my teeth when it was over.

[@GSGPINBALL]

Good on you Asmon, I had a family friend go through a similar thing. You do you and keep moving on.

[@ellessandraramsay1841]

You need to stop drinking your soda pops Asmon. Promise me you'll do that.

[@michaelfisher5097]

Asmongold, you are a god damn rockstar. Keep doing you.

[@giztronwarlock]

serious respect for you man! started watching you around a year or two back, you a super funny guy im glad things are working out, we're here for you

[@Sarkkoth]

I've been in the same situation man. It's haunted my entire life ever since I was a kid. Grew up really poor without any dental insurance. The toothaches are just the worst. You feel like you have to put your entire life on hold.

[@Schnot]

It takes a big dick to be able to admit this to 200k people. Love ya man. Keep up the good work. You play overwatch? I'd love to see some videos from you.

[@eXodoT1]

Keep up the good work Asmongold ! Love your content , hope you get your teeth problems fully solved.

[@woriap3989]

I really feel you mate. Ive been myself struggling with bad kidneys, lots of surgerys and infections since i was a baby, basically for 28 years now. Keep it strong mate! Hats off for you making this vid, i think is important to let ppl know that all sort of struggles will end some day. I alwasy loved ur vids but now i love em even more! I used to think "why am i going through this, what have i done to deserv this" I have learned in life, that every person is fighting their own demon somehow.

[@trapleuning]

Great you got that done! I've never worn bracers and I still don't dare to laugh properly at times.... I'm super happy for you you are changing it up

[@hazmongrel]

new teeth equal a new lease on life, I wish you all the best man

LMAO, my hero

[@Kelthor85]

Hi Asmon, Sorry to hear you've been going through so much pain. I'm in a similar situation but in Australia. All my old fillings started falling out and I couldn't afford to get anything fixed. Sadly with dentistry poor teeth seems to have a compounding effect - if you can't afford cleans ($80) it gets more expensive (fillings ~$300) if you can't afford fillings you end up needing crowns ($1,000+), etc. The people with the least amount of money end up needing the most expensive types of procedures. Very unfortunate. All the best & good luck.

[@Wow-stories]

I have also been having terrible tootaches in the last couple of years and even though I am getting some parts fixed here and there, there's still much that needs to be done and I don't like taking painkillers. It is not a "killing" type of pain, but it is really killing the joy of life or the joy of doing anything, including playing WoW (which is one of my favorite activities). Only those who have had such tootache will know what I mean. Glad you are able to take care of it, even if it is still a process. Hopefully, I will be done with my tooth problems one day too.

[@Sage2000]

I have been lurking for a while, but now I feel like I have to tell two things:First, brave and awesome story. Almost been there myself - it took courage to tell us all this. Secondly, I strongly believe that healthcare should not be paid like this, like paying for a sandwich, for a numner of reasons. Almost every developed country has some kind of system in place to deal with this, so you cousins from US should really think about it.

[@ilitsa]

Much respect for this video, I know how just....lost it feels to be unable to take care of basic needs like that, I'm in the same boat right now. I don't think anyone's going to think less of you for any of this, you did a good thing with the house, and put your needs aside to help your mother, that's fucking commendable, man. Be proud of yourself, I know I'm a nobody and crap but I respect the shit out of you for that, not many sons would have the heart to do that. Keep on keeping on, things'll get better and your REAL fans will be here when you're able and ready to come back full swing. Wishing you all the best.

[@wtfeverbroski]

I'm in a similar situation, almost eerily similar, and this really got to me. Thanks Asmon, you're my #1 WoW streamer/youtuber and things like this only add to it.

[@heythereguysitsMetro]

So what did you have done? Just a partial? or did you actually put the money together for implants and post/core/crown? Been in the dental field for a few years now and also love wow, so this is a funny marriage of two passions for me! I'm not sure how it is in your state, but in PA the Department of Public Assistance covers basic procedures like operative restoration, and you are allowed 1 denture per arch per life time. I THINK anyone can apply for that type of insurance, but I'm not sure what it actually entails.

[@Noble001]

LOVE YOU ZACK

[@grubhubguy9629]

Sorry to hear about your situation :-/ I can relate. When my parents split up, we couldn't afford visits to the dentist anymore. Over time, I had small cavities that got bigger and worst to the point I was always in pain. My teeth were ugly and I hated smiling. Wasn't until I graduated college, and became an RN that I was able to afford dental care. Just hang in there man, you'll eventually get everything fixed and smile again.

[@Asianiscool1]

Mad respect for you bro. Your mom is lucky to have you. God bless you and please keep up the good work! I hope for the best for you and your family.

[@harrisonpayne1179]

We're here for you buddy, much love

[@kpauburn]

Thanks for this - mad props to you and best of luck in the future.

[@austinxolin666]

Talks about breaking teeth on cheetos and if you look in the back in the box and you can see a bag of cheetos.

[@lapointe64]

Just don't get hooked on the pain meds, dude!

[@MrDrop442]

i know exactly how you feel i have been getting my teeth fixed over the last few years and to be able to let my teeth show when i smile without a gap from missing teeth showing. keep it up you will get through this.

[@geewill]

Wow.... moving, admirable and courageous... thank you.. most heartfelt vid i've had the privilege of seeing.. a bit late in my reply.. but none the less.. you now have my undying respect.. all the very best for you and yours..

[@Misfit_FATDUCKY]

[@windjam72]

Sorry to hear about your troubles Asmon, but it looks like you are overcoming this and will be stronger because of it. Like the old saying goes, it's not what you do when you're down, but what you do when you get back up! Keep up the streaming and keep fighting!

[@Apoxiosis]

I feel you. Back in 9th grade one of my teeth had decayed so much that I had to have it surgically removed. Dental inurance is a double edged sword, most people don't need dental care enough to even consider getting it, and even when you do have it, it barely even covers any of the bills.

[@Thrashlock]

Time to get some Asmongolden teeth.
