Afford: You can't afford not to be treated. Pain probably due to spreading infections. Pain killers mask symptoms, allowing the underlying infection to spread. The pain is a red flag your body is waving to tell you that you are in serious trouble. Look up "bacterimia" & ”septicemia," then call your Dentist for treatment and a deferred payment plan.

5 suggestions given: See if you qualify for the dental component of Obamacare. Try a school or residency program. Try a dentist that may work with you financially, see if you qualify for third party payments, such as Lending Tree or CareCredit or purchase a dental insurance plan with reduced rates.

Toothache Remedy: There are no home remedies or cures for rotten teeth. No magic pills or rinses or mouthwashes. Toothaches need to be treated locally by a dentist, someone who has years of experience treating these conditions. The sooner you call the sooner you will feel better. Please don't delay, the pain may soon be unbearable. Call your local dental society for help re: low cost care.
