Please help, I'm freaking out because my friend said I could die from this..
I don't have enough money to go to the dentist, and my mom wont take me there for this reason..every time I mention it she gets all mad and says something like "yeah, I know. my teeth are bad too, but you learn to deal with it."
It's really painful though..my gum is all swelled up and I can't even eat on that side of my mouth.. if I brush the spot thats abscessed will it help to make it go away? Will it help keep it from getting worse? Is there anything I can buy over the counter that will help and isn't expensive? How long does it take for people to die from this? Can abscessed teeth still be saved, or do they have to be pulled?
I did research and theres no dentist schools near me...so is there nothing I can do? Just leave it?.. Help?
