I have a very absessed tooth that dosent hurt to bad, but it has swollen half of my lower jaw and neck to twice its size. I was hoping someone knew of a way to get rid of the infection with out having to go to the doctor as I have no insurance. I have been taking garlic and goldenseal as they are said to have antibiotic qualities, but they dont seem to be doing any good.

Save your self some time and money by going to the dentist. A medical doctor will give you antibiotics, something for pain and then refer you to a dentist. Leaving you with his bill. A dentist will give you the same medications and take care of the problem by extraction or a root canal therapy. Most all will work with you on a payment plan that you can afford. If left untreated your allowing this infection to run through your whole body and are placing your self in extreme danger. An infection of this nature can be fatal so seek dental treatment immediately. Hope I've been of some help and good luck with the dental treatment.

When your infection has gone to that extreme, you are asking way too much of natural cures alone, for healing it... you NEED to get to a doctor right away. I personally despise taking drugs of any kind, I am an all natural type of person, but any naturopath will tell you that there are times you have to rely on conventional doctors in conjunction with natural methods. You can end up extremely sick if you don't take action immediately, this is not something you just wait and see on. Go to a hospital if a doctor will not let you make payments over time. A hospital cannot refuse service when you are in the shape you are in as long as you discuss the payment options and work with them all along. You can end up in the hospital soon if you don't take care of this, and your bills can be 10 times higher if you wait any longer, so you need to go asap.

hmmm.. I would say even with out insurance just go to a local clinic. we have one in town that charges like $10 per visit and comonly used meds, including most anitbiotics are free. Don't let that absess pop, the crap inside can kill you if it gets into your blood stream. When all else fails go to the ER, they have to treat you. then just get a finicial assistance paper from them. Oh yeah just remebered I know its disgusting but if you put some chewing tobacco on it that will draw the poision out to.

The tooth needs to be taken out or it will continue to cause you pain.. it will NOT heal itself. it is a rotten tooth with rotten roots... call your area Colleges... some have dental students to do free work for practice.. they are over seen by thier insrtuctors... if it is not free it is real cheap!
Rum numbs , so I have heard.

rinse your mouth with a little peroxide and water, apples help, co-q10 is good, vitamin C, along with what you are doing; goldenseal is o.k. for about ten days and then you should stop it for a week or two; cheese is also good
