My teeth are killing me!!!?

Okay here's the deal, my lower wisdom teeth are both decayed badly and my two upper last molars are both chipped one to the gumline and the other nearly to the gumline, my first and second lower molars are both chipped on one side to the gumline and i have deep cavity in my front tooth that needs a root canal.





Only problem is i have no insurance and i am in horrible pain. I am lucky to get in 4 hours of sleep a night. I was wondering if anyone in the MN area knew of any dentist that would bill their patients in a emergency like mine? I can't even eat i have been drinking soup for about a month and a half now and no dentist seems to show any mercy to me.





I also tried applying for government insurance but was told the wait is 8-10 weeks even with a medical emergency! I need help someone please help me.





Any suggestion or home remedies that work will be greatly appreciated

If your over 18 years of age, you might want to check into a credit card and go that way. Otherwise, your just going to have to use over the counter remedies. Like gum ointment etc..... Advil----etc........
Reply:Hmm there is one pain reliever to make it numb. I forgot what's that called. You can try to put that on your gums.





Oh yeah it's called, "ANBESOL" try that/??
Reply:You could go to your local emergency center since they have an obligation to treat you insured or not, and this route to dental treatment may help you bypass high fees. They may even do the work at the hospital! Or they may give you pain meds and then have you follow up with a dentist, but I don't know how it would go from there.
Reply:Appart from normal pain killers and anti inflammatories such as ibuprofen, and panadeine (you can take both of these at the same time), try popping some clove oil onto the affected areas with a cotton bud, its meant to knumb the region so there is less pain. Also for times when it gets pretty bad, there are some mouth washes out there with added anaesthetics like lignocaine that can knumb the pain as well.... it might actually help with any infection as well, however it doesnt last very long. Sorry i cant help more.
Reply:Try some Orajel(get the maximum strength Gel, it's more of a loose gel and will spread almost like a liquid). If I were you, I'd go to the closest dental school at the closest college or university and get some treatment. They will charge you on a sliding scale, so it will be real cheap.


Good Luck.


P. S. Use that Orajel sparingly.
Reply:this is where the government really sucks.aid is given to everyone with problems outside the USA,and to the minorities inside the states.but when one of our own is suffering,it's tough ****. go to an emergency room at a local hospital.they can't refuse to treat you for lack of money. they can give you pain medication.and they might be able to suggest where you can go to get help..you can also try a dental school at a university near you.their prices aren't as high as regular dentists.bad teeth can lead to lots of other problems,including heart disease.i hope someone will help you soon.
