[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 277659, member: 84"] Vicki I'd call around. Mention the emergency (pain indicates serious infection) sound like you're dying in agony. Get the appointment. Worry about payments later. Once you get in, well, I've never know an office so cruel as to deny treatment to someone obviously suffering. Otherwise, [B]get thee to the ER[/B]. They ought to be able to find a dentist who will treat you. I know cuz my sis's ex is and addict/alcoholic, wasn't working, no insurance, mouth a national disaster area. He went to ER. ER docs hunted down a dentist who would treat him. The man was in mighty bad shape. I trick I try is fairly hot water in the mouth. Don't swish, just sort o' let it sit there in the sore area. Do it until the nerves quiet down. (seems to sooth them) Don't use any other type of heat and don't do too often it can make the infection worse. But if you just need relief this can help soothe the nerve. I will say though I've never had a dentist turn me around once I was that bad off. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
