Idk what to do
I have incredible tooth pain rn and I'm not employed and don't have dental insurance. To my knowledge a hospital won't do anything unless it's an emergency. But it's not like I can do much of anything besides attempt to sleep through it and treat it with oral benzocaine and oragel. It's been like this on and off for the last 4 years. I'm so distraught that I'm considering waking into traffic. I hate this and just want to stop existing. Is there anything y'all can recommend? I'm in Pinellas county Florida if that helps. Currently donating plasma and the sodium citrate is seemingly making the pain worse.

Hopefully it's just a non-critical tooth that needs an extraction.
I think my tooth extraction was like $35 - obviously they'll take on some other fees but the process itself could be quickly fundraised.
The main problem is you might get mis-diagnosed a few times - especially if the professionals are trying to "save the tooth". I was about to get a full root canal when the endodontist finally discovered that the tooth was cracked all the way through the roots and required extraction. Dude, saved me a ton of time and money and that was after like 3 mis-diagnoses.
Sorry you are going through this, tooth pain is miserable.
