Possibly: Not poisoning, but an infection. And that infection can enter the jaw and spread to other parts of your body. It really needs to be treated. You'll need to figure out how to finance your care. Discuss your issues with friends or relatives that may be able to help you out. Seeking care at a dental school will allow for less expensive care. Some office offer third party financing. All the best..

Poisoning: Probability tooth will abscess and infection will then spread. This will not self-heal. You must see a Dentist before your chronic problem turns into an acute one.
