Broken Teeth: It is very possible that these teeth are infected and the cause of your symptoms. You need to have them treated or removed, insurance or not. Low cost care can be found at UW School of Dentistry. Please give them a call for more information.

Very possibly: Yes, it is entirely possible that your symptoms are caused by your infected teeth. Imperative the the teeth be treated or removed to eliminate source of infection. Talk to your Dentist about a payment plan, or seek treatment at a University Dental School, or contact Social Services about a low fee clinic. Please do not put this off.
