Well, it sounds like you may need root canal treatment. You do have the symptoms. The only way to know for sure is to see your dentist. An x-ray will be taken of the area and possibly pulp vitality testing. Prices range from state to state, but if money is an issue....you can always visit www.carecredit.com This company can match you with a dentist in your area who uses their services. Care Credit is a company that pays the dentist for services rendered and you will make monthly payments to them with no interest rate. Until you are able to get to the dentist....take 2 advil (for inflamation) and 2 Tylenol (for pain). Every 4 hrs. is fine! If 2 and 2 doesn't help....try 3 and 3. Hope you feel better soon! :)
