I have a very sensitive tooth
Have not seen a dentist in about three years
I have this one tooth that is really starting to hurt me in the back bottom part of my mouth. I know it has been some time since I seen the dentist. I also do not floss as good as I should. Now I have this jacked up tooth that really hurts. I think that it may be broken but it is hard to see in the back of your mouth.
Will the dentist need to pull the tooth? I almost just want him to pull it so that this pain will stop. However, I do not want a big gap because that would look bad. Any advise I can get for helping with this toothache pain? I know at this point I will have not choice but to see the dentist but I am hopping to wait it out because I may get dental insurance though work next year in January.

Try to get to the dentist as soon as possible. You do not want to continue doing nothing for it or it will only get worse. Rinse you mouth out with warm salt water to try and control any infection.
Your tooth may still be able to be saved with a crown but only a dentist could advise you on that.

Well as you can now see going to the dentist is very important part of your oral health care. By not going in over three years you probably have more issues then just the one tooth that is hurting you.
Since we are not to far from January you can try waiting it out. I would not wait to much longer then that time period. I would ask the person that handles your work benefits to make sure whether or not you are getting dental insurance. You do not want to be waiting for nothing and having pain you could have fixed sooner.
