These situations always cause me concern. I fear that resources may be limited and that you depend on insurance. Inflammation in the mouth can be a sign of various dental problems, and it is important to seek professional advice if symptoms persist. Waiting too long to address dental issues can lead to more severe complications. A good dental practice will see you immediately.
