I lost my job almost 2 years ago, and along went my insurance. I can't seem to find another job that actually pays more than minimum wage. I have 3 kids, and their mother supports us because I can't find work.
I had broken a few teeth a WHILE ago when I fell in the winter. I never got them taken care of, because I lost my job and couldn't afford it. I haven't even told my fiancée about my teeth because she can't afford to pay for it either. It's bad enough she's supporting me because I can't find work, or just don't end up with the job.
I woke up with a massive abscess on my bottom gun line directly near the teeth I had broken. It hurts like a son of a bitch, and I'm about to attempt to pop the abscess myself just to relieve some pressure and pain. She's currently sleeping, and I want to finish this before she wakes up so I don't have to risk her finding out, and spending money we don't have.
What are the steps I need to do, to ensure I drain this properly?
How long will it take before it comes back?
Will it get worse if I do the abscess myself?
I need the teeth pulled, and a lot of other dental work, but I've been trying to hold off as long as I can, because we just plain can't afford it. Now, I'm panicking because I know we can't afford an ER visit, and it's only going to get worse if o don't drain it myself somehow.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'll include a picture of the abscess in the comments. The whole bottom tooth is pretty much gone. Same goes for one of the top teeth too. They just chip away now because I've waited so long to get treatment. I can only imagine how much it's affected my other teeth.
Pros/cons? Tips? Tricks?
Thank you in advance
