Question: I have a bad toothache !.!.!. but I can't afford a dentist !.!.!. help! !?
I have a really bad toothache, but I can't afford a dentist and I don't have insurance!. there aren't any clinics in the area and i looked for dental schools and the closest one is almost 6 hours away by car!. Is there anything I can do in the meantime to stop the pain or remedy it a little bit until I can save some money for a dentist!? also, is there anything I can do to stop it from spreading!?

Thanks for any helpWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Why don't you go to cvs and buy oreljel it works good for me when i have a tooth ache or maybe ask cvs for a close dentist (since there a pharmacy) Www@Answer-Health@Com

What you could try is dissolving a paracetamol tablet directly onto the tooth that hurts!.!.!. it tastes disgusting but it will start working straight away!. My friend swears by applying clove oil to her tooth, another friend applies vodka (these work short term because they numbs the nerve ending)!. These are quick fixes!.You can also buy a resin that you can cover your tooth with, but this isnt very advisable, as if you have an infection this will exasperate the problem!.

The only way to remove the problem is to see a dentist!. It isnt worth not getting your teeth done!. Good oral hygiene will help prevent further problems but the best way to take care of your teeth is with preventative dentistry!.!.!. this means having a check up every 6 months and getting any work done they recommend!. Trust me, this is cheaper in long run!Www@Answer-Health@Com

you should talk to a family member/family friend and explain the situation and see if you can get some help!.
i didnt do anything with my teeth when i was just having toothaches!.!.i waited a long time and they turned into really bad cavities and i ended up having to get 2 root canals and have gingivitis!.!.!.muuuuch more expensive than if ihad just somehow found the money to get it checked out earlier!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

best thing to do is not to wait!. Wait any longer and there could be more damage to other teeth making it more expensive!. Cant get insurance they have a 5-6 month clause for pre-existing conditions!. Go to the dentist they have care credit, where a credit card company will pay for your fees and you have 6 months to pay it back before they charge interest!. Best of luck to youWww@Answer-Health@Com

This is nothing to play with!. That tooth could be infected and this is why you are having so much pain!. An infected tooth can and often does lead to death!. To keep it from spreading, brush 3 times a day or after you eat and floss every night before bed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

oragel does not work i've tried it before
