How Can Abscessed Teeth Infection Be Treated?

I will end up dying from raging infection, stemming from abscessed teeth. Not to mention the unbearable pain and misery I've endured over the last 9 days. I have no insurance. No money. ( my husband is in stage 4 esaphageal cancer ) with 7 children, 3 at home. No car or options to have this taken care of. I have 12 teeth all front and mouth full of abscess nasty infection

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The abscess could be because of the tooth or gum infection.
If it is gum or tooth infection You can take a course of antibiotics and analgesics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days(if you are not allergic). After taking antibiotics you can get the tooth treated with RCT(if bone support is fine) for tooth infection or extraction of the tooth(if it is completely gone).
if it is gum infection then get your teeth cleaned once and maintain the oral hygiene. If needed grafts can be placed to make the tooth firm.
Do saline gargling. we have to treat the cause.
i hope my answer will help you, take care.
