I am starting Radiation and Chemo next week. This morning I woke up with a tooth abscessed. I have no dental?

I do not have any dental insurance... and am on Medicaid which doesn't cover dental visits for adults. I also dont have a regular doctor, only a GYN Oncologist. What should I do??
--------------------
Get in touch with your GYN oncologist and seek their advice first. They may have to delay the Chemo. Maybe they can prescribe something for you. Try to find out from your local Human Resource Dept., if your area has a free clinic. They may have dentists on staff as well. If that is not the case, you can go to the emergency room for some antibiotics to fight the infection. While you are undergoing treatment, it is one of the most important things to keep absolutely impeccable oral hygiene. Brush gently for two minutes after each meal, that usually means more than twice a day, floss at least once, even better would be after each meal. In addidtion you could get a water pik to flush between the teeth in the evenings with some diluted Listerine. Maybe you could even get a fluoride prescription for Prevident or a similar product from one of the doctors. If you cannot, buy Act fluoride rinse and use it every day. Best wishes for your treatments.
