How do I get rid of an abscess w/o insurance or $?

Q: I have an abcessed tooth and I took an RX of Amoxicillin 500 mg, 3x a day. Got from my Dr. I go to for my back and pay cash. Can’t afford more at all. The infection did not go away. There’s still a big bubble on my gum. It is NOT draining and I’m afraid it may spread into bone, blood or brain. –Can I put a pin hole in bubble to help it drain, or will that open it up to more infection? (this is vs allowing it to stay inside} –Also, how can I get tooth fixed with any money? Can anyone point me to a service that can help in Orlando, FL?I think I can die from this and am getting really scared. I’m a Single Mom of 5 yr old and lost my job. Thanks for any professional info!!!

A: The antibiotics the doctor gave you should definitely help the abscess but you’re absolutely right. It won’t go away until it can drain or the tooth is pulled.There is a dental clinic that can work with your income. It’s in Winter Garden, here’s the info:http://www.chcfl.com/locationDetail.asp?LID=3They charge based on a sliding scale, which means if you make a lot of money, you’ll probably pay the full amount. If you’re making nothing then you pay nothing. You have to prove that you were fired, any documentation like a pink slip will do. Call ahead and make sure what they need so you’ll be covered. Also, they have an arrangement for emergency patients, but its like at 6am and they only take a couple of people. Sometimes there’s a big line, sometimes there’s only one other person. It’s first come first serve.When you call, make sure you ask about coming in for an emergency. They only take patients “in pain” so say you are.Hope it works out well for you. In the meantime, try to keep everything super clean, brush and floss as normal, use an antibacterial mouthwash and don’t share drinks with your 5 yr old. The bacteria in your mouth can transfer to others. And DO NOT puncture it yourself. It could make matters much worse.

How can I get rid of the taste of infection in my mouth?

Q: Well, I have an abscessed tooth, I’m on antibiotics, morphine, ibuprofen, and T3s. But what’s killing me now is the taste of the pus as the little bubbles break. It takes like ass, and it’s working it’s way up to my nose now, so I can smell it really bad too. I’ve tried rinsing my mouth out with vinegar, yogurt, and an herbal remedy from my parents, but it’s either really sticking to my taste buds, or it keeps leaking. I don’t know what I can do.I was prescribed all of the meds. The pain wouldn’t subside with just T3s, they added Advil, didn’t work either, so they told me to add morphine (15mg) to the mix. The Antibiotics are called ‘Cephalex’, 500mg. Also telling me to take a bit of gravol with it all.

A: I would rinse with salt water several times a day. It will help clean the area. Other than that, I would call the dentist’s office and see what they recommend.

I would Like to know about Blood Poison and how having an Abscessed tooth can Contribute to It thnx?

Q: i have always believed that if you get and abcessed tooth you can most likely contract blood poison from it if you pulled the tooth while the infection is present is this true?? also i went to a dentist who was going to pull the tooth but was not going to do anything about he infection and when i was told all they were going to do is pull the tooth and nothing about the infection i got up out of the chair and walked out did i do the right thing?? i have since gone to another doctor and they have prescribed an antibiodic meds to help me get rid of the infection and then they are going to help me find another dentist. did i do right by walking out or was i in the wrong because i was told wrong about never having a tooth pulled while infection is present in the mouth around the abcessed tooth thnx i am trying to survive such pain from the pressure of the infection pocket i am in need of help thnx

A: You were right in leaving. I mean you should always trust your gut instinct where your health is concerned and you are able toget a second opinion. I heard the same thing. When I had a tooth that got so abscessed that I ended up with cellulitus on my face itwas so swollen they ended up putting in the hospital on IV antibiotic therapy. No dentist would touch that tooth becuase of all the poison in the tooth. The only thing I would have asked is maybe if it is just a small abcess it is not necessary to wait. However everyone in my family has always had to wait for the swelling to go down. Good luck and hope you feel better
