For a while I had this one tooth in the back that bothers me off and on but since I do not have dental insurance I put off going to the dentist.  Today I woke up today with a killer toothache.  I am not sure why I now have such pain it never hurt like this before.

I called a dentist but just having them look at it and do X-rays will be more then I can afford to pay.   I was told that I may want to get some dental insurance first.  So can you please advise a low cost plan that start right away.  Also what am I to do about the pain I currently having?  Tylenol is not really helping me.  Is there anything else I can try to do until I get into see a dentist?
