Cracked tooth/ 1/4 of right side of tooth gone

I've been in agony from this for the past two days. I have no
Money to go to a dentist right now and no insurence.
I'm expecting to get a a check from a great aunt who died within the next few weeks. The thought of feeling like this until then is awful. The entire right side of my face is starting to hurt from my neck to my forhead.

Would it be worth going to the er. I feel like they would label me a drug seeker despite the fact that I am in great health and take very good care of my body. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have only been to a doctor a few times in my life so I don't have a regular doc who could help me out.  

I'm no doctor but from what little research I've done Im preaty sure I need to be on antiboidics and what I really want is enough pain pills to last long enough for the infection to die down. Then I could probable stand
waiting a couple of weeks until I could afford root canal+cap or crown.

Gravity boots or yoga are better than a chiropracter for putting your spine back inline if thats the problem.  An aspirin sized amount of calcium powder rubbed on the gums will provide very rapid pain control.  Too much at one time will give you headache.  Rinse mouth with warm water with teaspoon salt in it or clean seawater if you can get it.  Oregano tea either cold or hot can take of infection.  Oregano oil is also available.  Chose this before taking antibiotics.  Place a teaspoon of virgin coconut oil in mouth and swish it around as long as possible also good for dental problems, called oil pulling

call around. many dentist accept payment plans and will only need a small down payment to start. if you cant find one that takes payments find out how much the initial exam is. if you can cover that they may be able to put you on antibiotics enough to eliminate pain for a few weeks until the check arrives. once the infection gets under control pain pills might not be necessary. good luck!
