I think a good idea is to post about it on the internet, sit around and wait for the thing to fester a bit more and turn into a huge problem. Or maybe you should scrounge change or get a credit card and hit the dentist. I dunno.

I think it's a good idea to post and be rude to someone who's just looking for advice or some alternatives to spending money on the dentist.
Getting a credit card is not a solution to not having enough money for the dentist.

Chew cloves while you book a dentist appointment. How can you not afford to go to the dentist in Sweden?

Did they privatise too?

A "cavity" isn't a hole in your tooth at all, if that's what you're talking about... maybe I'm just misunderstanding. Plus cavities don't normally hurt until they're being drilled out.

I have really bad teeth and was once in a similar situation where my tooth was hyper-sensitive to absolutely everything. I almost had to get a root canal but they said it may just be a really sensitive tooth, not infected. Is your pain related to heat/cold or is it a constant, rhythmic throbbing? If the former, try some sensitivity toothpaste (worked for me). If the latter, definitely get it looked at whenever you have the money.

If it's any consolation, I know someone who had to get 5 root canals on the same tooth

So you know it won't be as bad as that xD

Tooth aches are obnoxious. Sorry to hear about it...

There's a lot of temporary fixes for pain, but you should really go to the dentist. My toothaches have netted fillings, pullings, and in one case a root canal. Two weeks ago I went in for a tooth abscess and found out I need a lot more work. The great part is you can tell them to hold off on everything except what you need to make the pain go away.

You won't know exactly what's wrong until you get an x-ray and you can't get that without going to the dentist. Do yourself a favor!

Oh, and keep brushing and flossing!
