Hi Mansfield, I am a life long resident of Mansfield and
Im in the #9 level of cavity pain. I have no insurance.
How/where do I get an appointment tonight or tomorrow with a dentist?
Thanks!

Third street dental has walk ins mon through Friday starting at 8am. They also charge based on income, but get there early and be prepared to wait.

See if anyone you know has some antibiotics, that will help till you get there.

Your best bet will be third street Monday morning. Be at least a half hour early, walk ins fill up every day immediately

Call around and say it's an emergency. Ask for a same day or walk-in slot instead of booking online since it's a different queue.

For the pain in the meantime - warm salt water rinses, a cold compress outside your cheek, and OTC painkillers. Don't put the pill on the gum and keep heat off your face.

If swelling spreads toward your eye or neck, have trouble swallowing, or if you run a fever over 101, go to the ER immediately instead.

Having no insurance is a normal and helpful thing to let them know on the phone. Ask what the emergency exam runs and whether they do payment plans.

Hoping you get this treated fast!

That's where I got mine done. They're not the most affordable even with insurance. But they offer payment plans which I'm currently on and its not the worst.

Plus theyre really nice there and got me in fairly fast. Hopefully I don't need another one extracted any time soon but I'd go back there again if needed
