I have incredible tooth pain rn and I’m not employed and don’t have dental insurance. To my knowledge a hospital won’t do anything unless it’s an emergency. But it’s not like I can do much of anything besides attempt to sleep through it and treat it with oral benzocaine and oragel. It’s been like this on and off for the last 4 years. I’m so distraught that I’m considering waking into traffic. I hate this and just want to stop existing. Is there anything y’all can recommend? I’m in Pinellas county Florida if that helps. Currently donating plasma and the sodium citrate is seemingly making the pain worse.
Definitely get it looked at by a dentist when you can. Tooth extractions aren’t as expensive as a lot of dental procedures.
Until you can get to a dentist, spend about 2-3 minutes soaking that part of your mouth in a warm water and salt mix, 2-3 times a day. This will help prevent infections and can cure a mild one.
