Growing Torus Palete. Painful, Loosening Teeth. Have TMJ. Who Should I See?

Hi. I have a large torus palete that is growing rapidly and has now accordianed on itself. The other side has also developed a canyon next to my teeth on the other side that I expect to do the same in time. There is now trapped skin(?) caught in the crease. I m running out of room for my tongue . The torus is very painful, as is the adjacent jawbone , and molars - two have them have started to loosen. All of this, added to my sever TMJ (which I am in pain management for - shots, muscle relaxers, fentanyal patch and oral narcotics) are making chewing almost impossible and due to my inability to open my mouth, more than an inch, without immediate and lasting pain makes the thought of surgery nightmarish. Is there anything that can be done to help me? How should I see? (I have been declined health issuance but will be elidigible for PCIP the begining of January.).

Dentist,  's  Response
If the mobility is slight and it is due to gum infection then doing warm saline rinses and after that massaging the gum with some good gun paint helps. If the gum paint is not available then you can use mustard oil with a pinch of salt to rub that area. This should be done at least twice a day.You should go to dentist as soon as possible and if you cannot afford a private dentist then you can try some dental school near your home. In dental schools the treatment is cheap or they can do it even free as they also need patients to learn. However the treatment done is absolutely good and uncompromising. You can also try some free dental clinics.
