Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

You have to get to a doctor ASAP for examination (and get prescribtion for antibiotics). You have abscess started. Infection needs to be stopped and tooth needs to be taken out (ASAP). If you postpone it you will end up in a hospital.

Nothing temporary for your situation. The tooth needs to be extracted asap. You have an acute infection and it will spread rapidly. Antibiotics will help but you need to see a dentist to get that.I wold not wait for insurance.....
