I am sorry to hear of your situation, I hope and pray for you, Stay strong. Regarding your teeth, the dental school in your area offers free care, and sometimes the city and I am not sure where you live, some cities offer dental care under 18 years of age, programs for dental to help with your dental care, if you have Medicaid or chip, they can also help.
Do you have Medicaid available or voluntary clinics in your area? Please look for a clinic to help you. Oral infection can lead to serious issues and can be life threatening if infection is not controlled.
Difficult question to answer. So long as you're not having any swelling you should be relatively safe. If you do start to get severe swelling you should go to an emergency room
Congratulate yourself. Youve started to take your life in a good direction. I understand abuse too well. Is there no hospital that doesnt charge? Im in Canada so Im not familiar with your system. If there is a dental or hygiene school near you check if they offer free care. Please get help soon. Your BreatheSleepDoc, Simi Silver, DDS www.silverdentalcentre.com www.TMJSleepCentre.ca
