Tooth stings??? - no dental insurance - what are my options?

Question

It stings when I make a sucking motion....like to gather my saliva before i swallow type thing....
it feels like a big sliver....very stingy.....but I don't think it's a sliver cuz I looked....and the pain is also under my tooth it's such a sharp pain....not like a normal cavity.

I can't afford to go pay some dentist hundreds of dollars....I've been so sick lately and missed work I'm only getting 300 on my next cheque and i need to pay bills what do i do???
and what could be the problem?

It's the bottom left molar closest to the front....it's also a baby....I'm 21 yrs old....but Iwon't get an adult tooth there.
They pulled the same tooth on the other side.

oh yea....it stings where the gum meets the tooth.....kinda under the gum

I live in canada

i dont have money to see my dentist :(

Answer 1

UNTIL YOU SEE A DENTIST START BRUSHING WITH A TOOTHPASTE MADE FOR SENSITIVE TEETH.
TAKE SOME IBUPROFEN WHEN THE PAIN GETS BAD.
BRUSH GENTLY WITH A SOFT TOOTHBRUSH.

Answer 2

It may be as complicated as needing a root canal, or it may be as simple as your gums receding a bit, exposing the nerve. If you can't afford a private dentist, you should check to see if your area has a dental school. That's a great way to save some $$ on dental care.

Answer 3

This answer has nothing to do with your question. But I asked a question, I said I would pray for anybody who answered my question, and you said you wanted to believe in God but you don't. I would love to talk to you about it. If you would like to talk about it, or have any questions, please email me at:
