my mom took me to the dentist 4 years ago and they told me i had 5 cavities and to come back, but we didn't because we moved, and my mom never got us any medical, so we cant afford to go to the dentist.
i always get these major head and tooth aches. i brush my teeth always, but the aches don't go away. what do i do? i can't go to the dentist, my mom said to wait until she can find us medical.

If you are under 18 there should be some kind of free dental care for you. I don't know what city you are in, but if you call the Family Independence Agency, or mabey the health department, they can get you in touch with a free dentist that will do the dental work for free or for very little money. Ask your mom to call. There are lots of places that do medical/dental work for free call up the agencies above and ask.

Try salt water rinses, it will help kill the bacteria in the cavities, look for a dental school it should be a cheaper solution, get it done the longer you wait the more of a chance you will need a root canal or to have them pulled, root canals cost big money
hope this helps

VENESSA,
FIRST FIND OUT HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO FIX YOUR CAVITIES FROM YOUR DENTIST. DENTISTS DO NOT DO FREE DENTISTRY.
IF YOU'RE ON PUBLIC AID YOU MAY OBTAIN FREE DENTISTRY ( IF UNDER 21) FROM A DENTIST WHO PROVIDES THIS SERVICE.
GOOD QUALITY DENTISTRY FOR A REASONABLE FEE CAN BE OBTAINED FROM A DENTAL SCHOOL.
