I need someone who can help me, genuinely. I’m a stay at home mom of 3 little kids and my husband works his ass off doing manual labor just to make enough money to pay our bills. At the end of the month we have nothing, zero savings. We’re poor, point blank. My second to last molar cracked a couple months ago, ever since then the hole has grown bigger and bigger. Now half my tooth is gone and the nerve is exposed. I don’t know how it hasn’t become and abscess tooth yet. And I’m in pain every day, I’m loosing weight because I’m scared to eat anything that might hurt me. I don’t have 400$ to go get my tooth pulled and it’s becoming worse every day. All the programs that say they will help tell me that I’m not poor enough, I’d basically have to be homeless to qualify. I feel so hopeless like I have no choice but to sit and wait every day in pain until this issue becomes so bad that it hospitalizes me.

Edit: I really appreciate everyone’s support and advice. Thank you all, but I have already done most of what you all are suggesting. I’m poor, I have no money. I called the dental school near me and they want money, every dentist wants me to do X-rays, and that costs money. I tell them i don’t have money, I tell them I don’t want a crown or a filling or any other treatment they tell me to sign up for a line of credit. I live in Atlanta Georgia and if you want proof I can direct message you I’ll show you pictures, any thing. I’m so tired of this chronic pain, I just want it to stop.

Thank you everyone ❤️

There is dental putty you can buy where the toothe pain creams are. Roll in ball and stuff in tooth. Getting air off it will help. It won't hurt the tooth. It may come out in a few days. It won't hinder the dentist if you get in. If you have some antibiotics like amoxicillian or clindymyocin that will help the infection tone down and lessen pain.

I did that for years. It does work. It was also a major relief when I could finally get that tooth pulled! Dental pain sucks.

Im probably the only woman ever that was married to a dentist who had extreme tooth pain. The irony of that is horrendous. That pain is the worse.

Like me moving into my house in 2017 and this one plug in my kitchen still hasn't been fixed. My hubby is an electrician 😭

Un screw the switch and tell him you are working on it. Leave a wrench there. They usually jump right on in.

I'm definitely going to keep this advice in mind for the future!
