What are the symptoms of a severely abscessed tooth?

Two months ago I had a very bad toothach and the dentist gave me meds to help the infection and said I need a root canal. I have no dental insurance so I have put it off. Two months later I have a large knot above that tooth. I also am having trouble breathing in my right sinus. Lately I have been experiecing pain in my ears too. I am getting very worried but i cant afford to get the root canal. I guess my question is, can I die from putting off getting it treated?

Same thing with me except mine happened 2 years ago and I still haven't gotten it fixed.

I will next month; and I'v been experiencing weird pains as well for the past 2 years; nothing a little caffiene couldn't fix up...

You can start forming puss in your gums that will reach your jaw etc..etc... but the odds of that are small if you brush your teeth no matter how much it hurts...

And if you want to get it out ASAP go to the emergency room during normal business hours (10am-2pm) and complain BIGTIME about your tooth, cry say the pain is hell; they'll remove it for you and bill you and you can make a payment plan after they send you the bill.

Or talk to your dentist and he can prlly help you out as well.
