Im 34w. A few weeks ago, I was eating almonds and one of my molars broke in half. A week ago, it started hurting. The pain is now almost unbearable and I’d rather be feeling labor pains. I can’t stand anything touching my face, much less have pain in it.

I called the only dentist in town that will take my insurance. And he can’t get me in until mid January. I cannot do this. I had an appointment with my OB and she said I’ve lost weight and I was dehydrated. And it’s because it hurts to eat and when I drink anything, the pain radiates down into my neck, ear, and head like I’m being stabbed. I’ve tried warm saltwater, orajel only works for so long. She gave me another dentists number but they don’t accept my insurance. 😭

I’ve called my mom asking for remedies, crying. And she said for me to go down to the dentist office and ask if they could just squeeze me in to extract it with no gas or anything (couldn’t afford that anyway) is it worth a try going down to see if they could. I’m so hungry/thirsty but I’m scared to eat or drink.

Also, if he can’t, could I just pull it myself? 😭
