Hi Guys,

Not sure if this is the right place to post,modes please move if necessary.

I currently have a really bad toothache and it is in need of attention from a dentist only i don't have any cash to pay until the end of the month.

If i was to go to a dentist or smiles clinic would they be able to see me and bill me or do i have to pay straight way?

I haven't been in a long time so excuse my ignorance.

Thanks

I got a bad toothache once when I was away for a few days and couldn't get to a dentist.
Pharmacist suggested Clove oil, put a few drops on cotton wool and wedge it as close to the gum/tooth as you can. It really worked for me, it's like a mild natural anaesthetic.
Obviously ask the pharmacist first if it's suitable for you!

Moving this thread to the Dental Issues forum, as I think you will get more pertinent advice there. Please note that their forum charter applies from here on in.
