Hey do you have a medical school close if you do they often have a school of dentistry and will help people that don't have insurance with dental work...Give them a call if you have one close.....Find a free clinic google for one...There has got to be one in your area like also you can try the County or City Health Department---Call them as well....

Ok so I ended up taking 4 shots of whiskey last night. Ive never ever been a drinker so I passed straight out, and the pain seemed to stop for awhile. Now Im back up and hurting soooooo bad. Its daytime and I have my kids so shots of whiskey not an option...been taking Ibuprofen, alevee orajel nothing seems to help. Ive been trying desperately to get into a dentist, havent been able to so far. Completely broke and no insurance ughhhhhhh

First call the dentist.  You need to have something done with that tooth.  Tell the dentist NO narcotics.  Let us know how you are.

You really need antibiotics. I think you should do some research on ketoprofen (it used to be available over the counter as Orudis) It is non narcotic anti-inflamitory and I had a dentist prescribe it for me and it worked miracles. That same dentist actually let me come back the day after I had a tooth pulled and injected me with novacane again. That may be sound like a strange option, but if you don't want to take pills and have a good relationship with your dentist he/she may be willing to do that.

perchance is right, an infection that got into the bloodstream could be fatal! try the ibuprofen, it is an anti-inflammatory (tylenol isn't) and is what is generally prescribed by dentists when not giving a narcotic. couldn't hurt to try, could it?

Wanted to add that the infection also traveled to my sinus area. I wish I would have gone to ER earlier. The infection can travel to your brain and kill you according to the ER doctor.

Go to The ER. You need antibiotics. I am having teeth problems right now as well and just went through detox. On day 15 sober from opiates. I went to the ER and they gave me Midol and Amoxicilan. Don't wait go now. You won't be able to get rid of the pain.

Until you can get to the dentist, take 800mg ibuprofen (4 tabs OTC) and gargle with some warm salt water. This really does help! So sorry for your pain, there is NOTHING worse than a toothache! :(
