    Loose Tooth
    Hello All,
    I currently have what I think is an abscess on my gum, the tooth is now loose... I thought that it would just go away, but it did not... The pain is only bad if I chewed on that side, but now that the tooth is loose I AM DOING NO CHEWING ON THAT SIDE... I am without health insurance, what are the risk that I am taking with not going to see a doctor... I get paid the end of the week... Can you give me some advice Im really scared.

    Thanks

    If the tooth is abscessed you are subjecting yourself to the poison from the abscess running through your body. You may also end up with your face swollen and in excruciating pain.

    If you can, at least get an antibiotic until you can get in to see a dentist.
