If you have cloves in your pantry and a spare teabag, you can make a little spice pouch snus that will numb the area and take a little of the pain away. Ibuprofen only does so much, especially for teeth stuff, and clove can give a little extra relief. Not a doctor, just someone that never had insurance til recently.
Food banks? Soup kitchen? It’s a temporary solution, but they’re out there for you.
