The whole left side of my face hurts and I can't sleep the pain in my teeth is so bad. I can feel a large hole in my top molar too. Right now I have no insurance and the pain is just killing me to the point where I can't even eat or sleep. What's the best way for me to get a perscription for antibiotics? Would I be able to just walk into a community clinic (or at least with an emergency appointment) and get a perscription or do I have to see a professional dentist to diagnose the infection before I can get it? I know the cavity needs to be taken care of, but right now I just need to relieve the pain until I can obtain dental coverage.
--------------------
There are a few things you might want to try. One thing I have used in the past are Dental Schools. They have dentists attending the students and the cost is usually 40% less than an actual office. They will also work out payment plans with you even if you don't have insurance. There are also fully free dental clinics in major cities but the wait can be long. Any dentist will treat you no questions asked if you have an abscess though, it's very serious and since it can lead to blood clots or bursts that may kill you. So I say get the tooth done first then get a scrip for painkillers and anti-biotics. You don't need insurance to get it treated and I really would not wait another day for such an emergency.
