My jaw is swollen from my tooth being abscest and i cant afford to go to the dentist. what can i do?

I totally agree with Heather, having an abscessed tooth is VERY dangerous and will need to be looked at by your regualr/last dentist to be treated. Not only are abscessed teeth extremely painful, they are also very life threatening and can cause fatal complications if not treated. You are going to have to be seen by a dentist or by your local ER, if you choose the latter they will prescribe you some antibiotics and pain medication, but this will only create ANOTHER bill as you will have to been seen by a dentist. Save yourself some time and money and visit your dentist for an emergency appointment, he/she will be more than willing to prescribe you the medication that you will need and also discuss treatment and payment options.
