Yes, you can. An emergency room can NEVER turn away anyone, whether it be for inability to pay, or type of injury, or whatever. There are a couple of things to be aware of, though.

1. You're seen in the order of importance of treatment. Obviously, people with more serious issues are seen before you, so you might be waiting for a very long time.

2. One visit can cost $500 or more, which you're billed later for. The cost of waiting can be pretty bad, obviously.

If you do have a regular doctor, but not a dentist, and this happens during the week, or you can get in contact with your regular doctor on the weekends, call them. Most doctors will be sympathetic with your needs regarding teeth, and will at least give you a prescription for the antibiotics you need, and maybe even some pain pills.

The big point is, it never hurts to ask your regular doctor for help.

What should you do if an abscess has broken open and is bleeding and draining pus into your mouth?

Go to the emergency room! You have an abscessed tooth, it sounds like, and this can be very dangerous, as the nerve channels can conduct the infection to the brain, causing death. It is time to visit the ER. First wash out your mouth well with warm salted water to cleanse the abcess as much as possible. The doctor on staff will probably put you on a bout of antibiotics.

Can you brush your teeth with an abscess on your gums?

Yes, however, you need to brush VERY softly around the abscess, rupturing it can cause infection and could potentially be fatal if not treated. You need to get into a dentist or visit an emergency room for antibiotics. More than likely that tooth will need to be extracted as once an abscess forms it is no longer salvageable through root canal therapy.


How do you know if you have an abscessed tooth?

I currently have an abscessed tooth. I had horrible pains, so bad I almost went to the hospital. It almost felt like a serious migrane, the next day the pain was more concentrated to my back tooth. there was minor swelling around the tooth and my lymph gland was sore to the touch. Go to the dentist because the pain will go away and then come back even stronger in a few days. Good luck with it!!! A tooth abscess or root abscess is pus enclosed in the tissues of the jaw bone at the tip of an infected tooth. Usually the abscess originates from a bacterial infection that has accumulated in the soft pulp of the tooth. Abscesses typically originate from dead pulp tissue, usually caused by untreated tooth decay, cracked teeth or extensive periodontal disease. A failed root canal treatment may also create a similar abscess. It may also develop from bacteria entering a tooth filling and multiplying. The pain is the body detecting that the microorganisms are present. A pus taste may also develop. There are three types of dental abscess. A gingival abscess that involves only the gum tissue, without affecting either the tooth or the periodontal ligament. A periapical abscess starts in the dental pulp. A periodontal abscess begins in the supporting bone and tissue structures of the teeth. (Wikipedia)
