    As some of know i was worried about my blood pressure giving me trouble getting started.

    Now i have teeth problems. This was preexisting and i was going to take care of it after a,few months of driving.

    Tonight my face lit up in pain because my wisdom tooth broke the,molar in front of it. Last week a piece broke off but no pain but the sharp point that was scratching my tongue. So i files it down with a nail file and good to go for,awhile i thought....

    Tonight pain feels like i was punched by a mma fighter. Im sitting here with a frozen loaf of bread on my face and it works pretty good but still feel it.

    Anyway i have no insurance,and,no job. Should i find a way to get this done before i start truck driving ot tough it out until i get some checks from driving?

    I dont know if i can drive in pain though. This sucks.

    You have infection .Can you have someone pay for a dentist visit so the dentist can do an xray prescribe some antibiotics the dentist visit is around $100.00..That load of bread is only a quick fix.So I would get on some antibotics to get rid of the infection and gargle a couple times a day with baking soda and water.You deffinately need to get that tooth pulled but for now what I mentioned will last for awhile till you can afford getting it pulled.But get this taken care of before you start driving school.Like right now and make a dentist appt Monday morning.Or you can try a walk affordable medical clinic that may be free because you aren't working.But the medicine you would have to pay for.

    Be careful with any medicine or you can flunk a drug test.
    Sometimes letting an aspirin disolve on the tooth gives some relief. Maybe Tylenol tablet or something similar will do the same.

    Get a goody powder and let it sit for a while on tooth then wash down with water. You will get some sleep but get it checked out. A tooth ache gives me suicidal thought

    I forgot about Goody Powder; that stuff is great for toothache and any pain.
    BC Powder is ok too.
    Found this on the internet: @1278PA
    "I have suffered with toothaches alot this year due to sinus/allergies infections. The other night I was in so much pain to the point where I was shaking. I tried everything from salt n warm water, warm compresses, and taking 1000mg ibupropin. I finally bought some goodys powder applied it to my tooth n 5-10 min later the pain was gone. This really works n I recommend it for everyone."

    Better print and frame my reply I actually agree with you for once,lol.What I do is ask the doctor if that medicine will make me fail a drug test.

    Antibiotics is what they prescribe for infections, which would never affect a drug test. But I sure do agree with you on the disagreements with the over poster China***
