I have a gum or tooth abscess. im new to my job. my insurance does not kick in till 1st of the new year. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a dentist: Insurance or not, your issue may not wait for the new year. You certainly do not want to spend the holidays swollen and in pain. I'm sure minor treatment can be started to prevent your situation from becoming worse.
