Hope you get better soon! Beef up on antibiotics and have the remnants taken out, I've had that happen a few years ago and it wasn't pleasant

Take pure baking soda, put it in an empty tea pack and put it on the affected tooth. If there is an infection, this little concoction will help draw it out. Keep it on the area for about 10 minutes. Repeat 3 or 4 times a day. Ground up clove using the same empty pack will help with pain.
It's not an absolute solution, but it helps the body fight the infection by drawing out some of the yuck. It's something to help until you get to the dentist.
Good luck bro.

That is good news. Cajunguy gives some good advice for remedy. Also a regular tea bag placed on the gum works wonders post-extraction. I had 5 pulled in one sitting and it helped a lot with the bleeding.

Ever looked into your state's Medicaid program?
