Abscessed tooth! I need low cost dental care ASAP?
Last year a filling fell out of my last back molar.
Quite a bit of the tooth fell apart(and out of my mouth) soon after.
I was saving to have it fixed, but I lost my job a few months ago.
Now all my money goes to school and rent.
I do not have any extra money.
I also do not have any family or anyone, who could lend me funds in any way.
I’ve been living on ramen for 6 months because I could swallow it and not cause tooth pain.
When chewing became too much I switched to protein shakes.
My tooth is now at the point I can suck through a straw and or drink much without immense pain.
I do not have 8 hours to sit in a office and maybe have a chance of getting looked at.
If I miss a certain number of days in class and lab, I lose grant money.
I’ve missed my quota already just trying to get someone…anyone to look at my tooth.
Nothing
I’m in over 0,00 student loan debt, school comes first and I know it will be ok in the long run BUT…my tooth sure don’t know that. :-/
I do not qualify for public-aid or medical help(trust me I have tried everything!)
Please don’t tell me to go to the Dental Clinics at UIC.
I’ve been there and they require full payment upfront, no exceptions.
I can make cash payments of about – a week.
No dentist or so called "free" clinic has been willing to work with me.
I really scared for my health, I know the tooth is past abscessed.
I just don’t know what to do.
Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places.
Any advice would be very welcomed.
