You'll die from it.: Forgive my frankness. And it's not an easy death. You can get seen for free at most dental schools. Make the phone call now.

Get seen!: We both know this is not normal! A university center with Oral Surgery near you may offer lots of free care because the government pays for the training. Otherwise call around- there is a good-hearted doc nearby. I had a friend die because she ignored a mouth lesion too long. Please don't let it happen to you! Whatever the bill may be, your life is worth more. Hoping it's nothing...
