If you arent allergic to pennicillian or antibiotics, maybe someone in your family has some antibiotics left over. That will kill the infection.

For ex. I always have penicillian lying around because I have a heart murmur so I need to take it before i see the dentist. Maybe someone has some to give you. If not try ice pack and Motrin.

PLEASE GO TO THE DENTIST!!!

Either charge it or work out a payment plan PLEASE!

I have had an awful experience w/ teeth and delaying treatment.

It is fixable and you will feel better immediately if iti s a cavity or root canal.

I have a dentist - he'd work w/ you

Dr. Jenal in New Hyde Park and I think he has an office in Farmingdale.

Go to the dentist ASAP and FIX it!!!
Try asking the doctor if you can do a payment plan or if you can apply for the dental credit card thing.
I think it's UNICORN. My dentist has it posted up in his office I believe.

GO! GO! GO!
If you don't fix it, it may get worse!!!!

Re: ughhhh like i need this 4 days before my wedding

I would definitely go and see a dentist. You don't want to be miserable the day of your wedding.
You can take motrin or use ambesol(sp?) but it will only be temporary relief.
Sorry you are having this happen now!!

I know my dentist lets me pay partial payment or even says that he will just bill me.

I hope you feel better!!!

Re: ughhhh like i need this 4 days before my wedding

I agree, go to the dentist and get it fixed. There is NOTHING worse than tooth pain. Most every dentist will be willing to work out a payment plan with you, or charge it if you must. The last thing you need on your wedding day is TOOTH PAIN !!

Re: ughhhh like i need this 4 days before my wedding

I'd say go to the dentist. The last thing you need is for it to get worse. I understand your financial situation, BUT even dentist know their bills are high and they will work with you. Or at least give you a temporary solution until you can get it fixed. Hope you feel better!!!

put whiskey on it. either rinse your mouth out with it - or i put it on a q-tip and than place it on the tooth. it numbs it for awhile so you dont feel the pain. also - advil, tylenol, etc will help with the pain. but you really do need to get to a dentists - i would certainly go b4 your honeymoon.

feel better..

Thanks for posting this!! The ignorance about antibiotics drives me crazy!!

I am sure that any dentist will work out a payment plan with you! Call and explain your situation and get it taken care of!!

Re: ughhhh like i need this 4 days before my wedding

have you tried sinus medication?

when I get a toothache, it is always because of a sinus issue - Advil Cold & Sinus does the trick for me.

good luck!!

If you don't have insurance, and you don't have the money. Try going to your nearest hopsital emergency room. You'll just be stuck w/ the bill later

Re: ughhhh like i need this 4 days before my wedding

GO TO THE DENTISTTTTTTTTT!!!

Tell him you are getting married this weekend... ANYTHING!! You need to get your tooth problem fixed ASAP. The last thing you need is a toothace the day of your wedding and for your honeymoon.

Im sure your dentist will be totally understanding and accept partial payment. Even if you put it on a credit card... anything! Get that tooth fixed before it gets worse, and when that happens, it is going to end up costing you even MORE $$$!!!

For now... ALLEVE. Always works for me

Re: ughhhh like i need this 4 days before my wedding

I always use abesol for toothaches...for temporary relief. I don't have dental insurance either, and when my wisdom tooth was coming in I went to the dentist...explained that I don't have any insurance but I can't think it hurts so bad. He charged me a $20 co-pay and gave me a prescription for an anti-biotic, and acted like I was never there. You should try to talk to them...you don't want it to get worse!

I agree you should see some one right away. But I would not go to the emergency room. They do not have Dentists on staff there and it would just be a waste

I would call Dentists in your area and ask about payment plans, lots of them have them
