Oral Abscess?!
Question: Hello. I have an abscess on my tooth and I was wondering if there was a way I could make it go away. I dont have insurance or money to go to a dentist or doctor. Its kinda making me sick. It popped up 2 days ago and same time I got sick and been in bed since then. Id go to doctor but I went to Cardiologist not too long ago for my heart and I owe them 3k. So As you can see , I simply cant afford anything thats not over the counter. Any advice is appreciated.

You probably need some anti biotics to clear the infection, couild you not try and ring your Dentist to ask for advice, especially with your other health concerns I would consider this urgent.
APRIL,
SADLY, THERE'S NOT ANYTHING THAT YOU YOURSELF CAN DO TO HEAL THE ABSCESS AND KEEP IT FROM RETURNING.
FOR THE CARE FROM A DENTIST AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE SEEK CARE AT A DENTAL SCHOOL WHERE THE COSTS ARE MORE MANAGEABLE.
I had one once.
I held my lip up and with a Q-tip put a bit of peroxide on it.
While still holding my lip up I let the peroxide bubble up for a 1-2 minutes. Then I mixed an equal amount of water and peroxide, swish it around in the mouth around the effected area for 1 minute. (Both steps 3 times a day.)
(I repeated the first step when i noticed the abscess accidentally open (by toothbrush or eating) and to be draining then rinsed my mouth with water)
Its been awhile since I had mine, so I don't remember how long it took...... But it did go away after awhile.... maybe a week or two and did not come back.
(This was my experience and what worked for me. No guarantees it will for you.)
