Get it out!: At least go to the ER! It sounds like you are in severe jeopardy of major problems.. You need antibiotics and dental treatment

Serious infection: Your serious infection demands immediate attention. Talk to Dentist about payment plan. Seek Rx @ a Dental School. Check w social services or Dental Society for subsidized clinics. You may have to budget differently for a while to cover your personal health care. Get help now, before you wind up being hospitalized.

Major Infection: And qute serious at this point. The numbness is due to the pressure the infection is placing on the inferior alveolar nerve. Failure to immediately treat can result in permanent damage and spread of the infection. You'll need to find the resources to be treated privately, or you can try the dental school for reduced fee care. http://www.mmc.edu/patientcare/school-of-dentistry/index.html
