I have an abcess tooth but I have no money for a doctor what can I do?

I've had an abcess before about 4 months ago on the same tooth which is my lower left canine but treated it with antibiotics. I was supposed to get a root canal but never did because I didn't have the money. Now it's coming back really bad and I need to know if there is anything I can do without having to go to a doctor. Are they any over the counter antibiotics or anything I can but at the store that will at least get rid of it for a little while? Any help with this will be greatly appreaciated because I'm in a lot of pain. Thanks in advance.

dude, you really do need to see a dentist. maybe they can put you on some kind of payment plan. if an abcess gets out of control, it could be dangerous. get it taken care of. and soon.
Reply:not really! Be very careful about your abscess tooth! i work at a dentist office and we know of 2 people who have passed away from an abscess tooth!
Reply:that can be one of the worst pains ever! i really dont think anything over the counter is gonna give you the help you need.
Reply:you need antibiotics, the blood flowing around your abcess can become infected and make you very sick, in the mean time clove oil on cotton placed on the infected site is great for pain. see your dentist ASAP
Reply:You dont want an ifection to spread into ur blood system.Its possible u can die from that.If you get a fever go to the emergancy room. you can have it pulled once the swelling goes down.I use pain reliever but you need antibiotics. ASAP
Reply:Contact your local dental society. It is usually named by the city, state or county that you live in. For example, Chicago Dental Society, Florida Dental Society, Broward County Dental Society. Contact the American Dental Association and they will give you the name of yours. The society usually has a listing of hospitals, dentists and dental schools that provide free, low-cost or sliding scale services.
