It's true I've been fighting 2\3 abscess two on my bottom one on top visit the er every few months to get antibiotics however the infection always comes back I have lost about 7 teeth in back on all 4sides I have medicare. I can't even get a cleaning they won't do it they say I need few root canals few extractions I noticed over time heart beats fast harder at times feel swollen bloted at times I feel tired all the time currently waiting on ssi appeal s date I think fighting my dental issues have only made my depression anxiety mood swings worse there's one place medicare of fl referred me to costal dental however 80$ needed upfront only for first visit and I'm a single parent of 3  yr income under 9000.  There's just nothing to save to afford the dental surgery I need I mean I heard of people going broke waiting on disability but never slowly dying because let's face it foks if I let it go longer its been sometime already it juys might kill me I'm 35 I had perfect teeth before I got myself into a controlling abusive relationship with my children's father that lasted a decade that's how this dental issue started .since won full custody n moved from my to here in fl . let's face it economics in the US is going bad I just heard that loto not even paying winners smh ..this government don't seem to care about its own people

BONE INFECTION IS AN MEDICAL EMERGENCY CALL 911
Get someone to take you to the hospital now
You have to go now it can be fatal no kidding around.
Look the hospital does see  people even when they have no insurance
What a crazy system where people can be dying and because they
have no insurance they would rather wait and possibly die! Absolute
broken medical system

Hi I'm Anthony and I've had an abcess tooth since I was 17 and now I'm 31 and its been somewhat of a pain not a lot of pain or swelling and not a lot of pus anymore about a year ago is when the pain started but only for
day and now the pain only starts when I put pressure on the affected area above my front tooth then it swells...and beside my nose on the right side it is sore and feels like the other root hurts but my tooth beside the one that hurts looks. like it is crooked now like its moving away from the other tooth and the swelling isn't bad not like it was when I had feeling. in the front tooth and I'm not sure now if its getting ready to fall out or what cause my front tooth is like a gray color now and very little feeling in it what should I do cause I can't afford a dentist right now?!
