You really need to have that tooth looked at by a dentist. I can truly understand not being able to afford a dentist, though. I don't know where you live, but if you are in a city with a university that has a dental program call the School of Dentistry at that university. Most of the Schools of Dentistry are aching for patients for their Dental Residents. They are doctors (dentists) who need patients to complete their dental training and are overseen by a practicing dentist. These programs will take patients on a sliding scale or at no charge depending on your needs. They can take care of that cavity in your wisdom tooth before it gets to the "root canal" level.

Good luck!



You should have that wisdom tooth looked at, if you can't afford a dentist call around and see if there's a dentist who will work out a payment plan. If you don't get it looked at, it will get deeper and sooner or later you're going to have your wisdom tooth extracted.
