I have an abcess tooth. there is a bump on my gum over the tooth. was taking antibiotic but for uti dont have the money for dentist. what should l do?

Assistance program: Dental abscess will not go away on its own, so it's important to see a dentist. Assistance programs vary from state to state. Contact U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to find out about care in your area. Another possible source of lower-cost dental care is a dental school clinic (low cost). Take care.

Find the money: An abscess is an infection. Antibiotic, even if the correct one for tooth infection, will not cure the tooth. The tooth has to have root canal treatment and a crown, or extraction, implant, and a crown. Infection spreading from an abscessed tooth can spread through the circulatory system, damaging other organ systems, and can even cause death. SEEK TREATMENT NOW!

Abscessed tooth: An abscessed tooth requires immediate treatment. Untreated, it will result in more problems- pain, swelling, time and grief. It can spread and be deadly. Set your priorities. Borrow the $ from friend or relative, go to dental school, hospital based dental program, clinic, work out a dental payment plan or try http://www.freedentalcare.us/ Find a way. No magic wand here.
