Hi I AM in pain from a tooth. Not just any tooth but my upper top left tooth. I need a rootcanal but unable to come up with the money to do so. Does any one in the Brooksville Florida area know of a dentist who will work with me? I am also afraid because this tooth has caused other health problems such as sinus pain and inflmation, swollen glands, earache, and headaches. The Er is a good idea, but what if anything can they do? Thank you Jill from Florida.

The ER is not a very good ID, first they do not treat teeth, at best they may give you a pain pill and they cost more than any doctor, A trip to the ER can be 1000 or more,

You will need to call local dentist, also there is often loans for dental work, though companies like CARE CREDIT for one, your dentist should have info on this.

Just be aware, you needed the dental work over a year ago, today it may be too late to save the tooth but on the other side, pulling it does not cost a lot of money
