Yup^
Might need a root canal and you should get some antibiotics to kill the infection and probably some tylenol codene.Thats what they did to me.

I had real good luck rinsing with hydrogen peroxide. Took away the infection and made my tooth feel real better until I got to the dentist. Which is right where you need to go before you lose your tooth like I did. Also excedrin extra strength worked pretty good for the pain.

dude most states have what is essentailly "poor people insurance" in my state its called AHCCCS or arizonahealth care cost containment system and they use healthchoice as their HMO or whatever. you just gotta do a little research but i pay 20 bucks a month and have unlimited insurance with no co-pay, well one time i fell outta a really big tree and dislocated my shoulder and broke my heel bone, had to have surgery on both, gotta a metal plate and like 7 big ass screws (they go almost all the way thru my foot and are the width of a bic pen, i got to see it on xray, which was pretty tight) and now i got a nice big scar that stretches all the way down my foot. that one was something like $11 grand and all i had to pay was 10 bucks a month (cause i was a minor, adults it costs 20 in my state). then had to have a ligament re-attached in the shoulder a few years later (my shoulder kept poping out every time i tried to throw anything overhand or even stretch sometimes, and it even made that nasty sound like u hear on movies, almost like a wet crunch everytime it came out, and then id have to force it back in which was always so fucking hard because its so painful, cept if u do it cool like on leathal weapon lol)
but basically ive never had to pay more than like 2 bucks copay (which was one time) so you should see if your state has this, and if you meet the requirements then you can get cheap insurance that covers ER visits and shit.
you dont get the greatest doctors, which is why i dont go to the doc. i wait until it hurts enough to go to ER or goes away by itself.
and the ER is nice, they always serve up fresh shots of demoral every time i go there. and i NEVER walk out without talking my way into a script for painkillers, then if they tell me to follow up, i tell that doc that i need more pain pills (i usually say i dont have any more and the pain is still there but be creative so the doc doesnt suspect u)
then if i have any leftover when i come down from my 2 or 3 week opiate trip i sell em and buy some pot. i knows its sleezy but damn, i aint paying $11k for a chunk of metal and some screws and a few dozen pain pills. not to mention PT which sucks so much ass!
if i didnt have insurance i would have limped home after i fell outta dat tree.

Call your dentist a few minutes before they open and tell them you have an emergency and HAVE to be seen today. They will accomodate you.
If you have any codeine or the like, take a couple but try to AVOID aspirin as that's going to thin your blood and and increase your clotting time.
Don't do it yourself, if you crack the tooth while trying to extract it, it will complicate things.
If you go to the ER, NEVER request a pain med by name/dose etc. They will think you're a drug seeker and at best give you a shot of Torodol which is only a high strength NSAID.
Good luck.

muthafucka gave me ibuprofen.Love is patient and kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres

Look for a dental school/college... I am getting my whole mouth done for the price of one crown at dental office...
The work is really being done by the teachers,the student does some work but the major stuff is done by an older Pro...
