Is there low/no cost dental care in Houston, TX? I have a tooth abcess, no money, and no dental insurance.?

I had a root canal last year which is now abcessed. I'm running fever and in a lot of pain.

I would contact the dentist that did the first procedure. Tell him your situation and that he did the original work. Ask if you can set up a payment program with him to get the abscess taken care of. You can die from an abscessed tooth. If he is unwilling to help, then ask where you can go to get help. They should know which agency to send you to. But, if the dentist is worth anything at all, he will help you out. At least to get you stabilized. Good Luck!
Reply:Sweetheart, you can die from that. Get to a hospital and worry about how you are going to pay for it later.





My cousin nearly lost his life when that abscess spread and it can choke you to death if it spreads down your throat. You need to get that tooth pulled and on antibiotics IMMEDIATELY. Go to a hospital and let them handle it from there.





And sue that moron who did your root canal they obviously butchered the job and probably went too deep and caused the abscess. Maybe you should call him and tell him you are going to sue him for ruining you and he had better pull that tooth for you now for free and write you a prescription.
