Okay this question isnt about myself it is about my girlfriend. She is 24 years old and has had toothaches for a very long time, since she was a teenager. Shes never seen a dentist before. One of her teeth is decaying, she is always in pain because of it. She recently told me it is an abscessed tooth. And that there is a small red spot on her gum around it. She said it could possibly be a hole but it looks like just a small red spot. She doest have the money to see a dentist or have it pulled or treated. She has been waiting on her medicaid for almost a year and they keep messing it up. Im scared she might die :/ please.. what can we do? I have no job and she has no job and no one will help us. We need to get her tooth fixed before its too late :/

### output:

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the tooth could be because of the tooth infection. The red spot is because of the pus discharging sinus tract secondary to abscess in the root tip of the infected tooth. You can take a course of antibiotics and analgesics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days. Do saline gargling. You have to consult an endodontist to get the infected tooth treated. There is no other option. After taking antibiotics you can get the tooth treated with RCT(if bone support is fine) or extraction for tooth infection. Do not worry your girlfriend will not die because of this reason. Try to get it treated as early as possible, wherever you can get it done free. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
