I have a broken tooth and hurts really bad and tylenol (acetaminophen) isnt helping. and can't sleep at night. i have no insurance and was wondering what i should do?

Broken tooth: This needs to be treated by a dentist asap or it will get worse. If finances are a problem, see if there is a clinic or dental school near you. Or check with your dentist about working with care credit.

Call dentist: The first thing you need to find out is what is causing the pain and what can be done to eliminate the pain. When you see a dentist, tell him you have no insurance and we usually work with you to have necessary treatment and/or referral to a dentist who can treat you. Until you see dentist, you can buy temporary filling material from the drug store to put in the broken tooth.

Call dental society: In many areas, free dental clinics are available for low-income people. Call your local dental society for more information.
