Can't you get medical insurance? I believe if you go to healthcare.gov and apply they will give you affordable insurance. If you have no income or low income, you should get it for free. I think in Florida, Medicaid doesn't cover a lot for dental, but it does cover abscesses and extractions. I am not sure, because I am in New York, but I work 36 hours a week at $10/hr and I applied through the marketplace and they gave me free insurance which covers dental. It was easy and I did it all online. I also seriously needed dental work, which is the only reason I applied.

If you have an infection, get to a dentist asap because it can go to your brain. My immediate suggestion is to get some echinacea extract/tincture, and start taking a LOT of it, Dosage: one drop for every two pounds of body weight (150 lbs. = 75 drops), and take that dose every three hours, until the symptoms subside, then take it less frequently. Also get some goldenseal extract and take a few drops in a couple spoonfuls of water and gently swish it around your mouth for a minute before swallowing (it's bitter, you can also spit it out if you want, but it's got antibiotic properties). Warm salt water rinses several times a day will also be good. There is an emergency walk-in clinic at the University of Florida College of Dentistry, but it's not free. If you have a credit card, you can pay off the $150 that way. Usually they deal with emergencies by pulling the tooth. https://ufhealth.org/student-oral-surgery-clinic

I've not had good luck with Acorn. There are a lot of obstacles to overcome in order to be seen. UF dental has an emergency option on certain weekday mornings. You have to arrive before 6:30 am and If I remember, the cost was $150.

UF Dental School has a clinic. At Shands. Generally, health insurance does not include dental coverage. You usually purchase dental plan separately.

Most devotees use Saranga Thakura (Rasa MacKnight's husband) or a guy named Chris whose dad is a devotee. I have seen Chris's work. He is excellent. I am thinking to call him myself---but I don't have his number. Also Hladini shakti's son, KD is very good also. Has his own business.

Chris is Hita-Karana's partner - you can contact Samapriya Devi Dasi for number
