    It's been infected for a long time.... I've just unfortunately never had the resources to get my teeth all fixed. when I worked at AutoZone I had there dental and I got 2 on one side yanked and I lost that job before I lost 2 more teeth lol

    OP...all I can say is don't wait until tooth becomes infected like I did .
    Woke up on a Saturday morning in glendive Mt in extreme pain with swollen face .
    Long story short it infected the tooth next to it also and they wouldn't pull em until the infection was gone .
    Twas a very unpleasant 2 weeks in my recliner .

    Had all 4 wisdom teeth yanked a few years ago. Nurse at the dentists office said a person can take 800mg of ibuprofen at a time without a prescription. Worked great for me. Then again, you could take more than that as long as you don't OD on the stuff and don't tell anyone. :D

    You may not need any pain meds for yanked teef. I didnt and I have a low pain threshold - if they are infected, they will give you a script for pennycillian lol or something similiar to kill the infection before they yank em. that infection can kill you -
    Good Luck - been there done that

    Yeah if your tooth is infected trying to get ahold of some antibiotics right away you should be able to go into any Hospital in any state and tell them that you need antibiotics and they should prescribe them to you then after the infection goes down if you take them antibiotics for a few days then what you do is get yourself some 60 pound test fishing line wrap it around your tooth take the other end and hook it to some Buddies trailer at a truck stop while they're pulling away and just let that little sob yank out LOL

    Even if a local union job pays slightly less than you make now,
    the 100% company paid medical and dental more than makes up the difference. Kinda hard to put a price on time spent at home with the family also.
