You can check with a dentistry school to see if they will do the work- sometimes they let students do things for the experience but it is all with the Dentist in charge standing over them while they do it. Otherewise just call the local dentist and explain the situation to them to see what you can work out.

Your teeth can cause big problems for your body. Is your tooth, or teeth, bleeding? Are you getting sick (physically?) It seems like you have an abscess tooth, which is when the root is infected and maybe another tooth coming in, where there is no room, so "everybody's" moving. Or maybe you just have a really bad tooth, as in a cavity, that went bad & "it" decided to go to the root. Regardless, you need to look into your local dentists. Most respectable places will take you with no insurance or "whatever". They will help you, then work out a payment plan with you. You have to keep to the payment plan. But, the best ones will take you if it's an emergency, and work out the money later on.
Get that done quickly. Doesn't sound too good. Take care.

Ask at the emergency desk of a county hospital. They may know what to do - or might just remove the tooth. They may still bill you for it, but you might get medical attention.
A dentist could possibly perform a root canal and /or crown procedure to save the tooth.
Root canals cost around $500-$800, once removed, an implant will cost around $3000-$3500, or you get a bridge, still pretty expensive, or wear a plate, or go without a tooth.

Care credit. If you have decent credit, it is a program like a credit card. You are approved for a certain amount and you pay off the Care credit instead of the dentist. Unfortunately most dentists won't do payment plans theses days (I know, I worked for one for three years).
Find a Dental provider that accepts care credit and they will give you an application and tell you if you are approved right in the office.

yes they certainly can, teeth can infect the whole of your bodies systems.
Not trying to scare you but back when Australia was discovered some "enterprising" Englishman took a Aborigine back to England on show, he placed him in a side show - the cause of his death was proved to be bad teeth, similarly there is a theory that one of the Egyptian Pharaohs died from the same cause.
in other words, go see your dentist, if you can't afford to pay up front then try to do a deal where you pay each week
good luck

Yes, if you have an infection and it is not treated you can get an abscess and even die. Try to find a dental school at a university or a community health clinic. Sometimes they have a sliding scale pay. Or even try contacting the state dental association - they could give you ideas.
Good luck!

it's probably your molers, there are extra teeth coming out at the back of your mouth. some people have severe pain with these and usually for them the only way to stop it is to get them out.
