Online Pharmacy

If it's dental try the UMKC School of Dentistry. They have a free or low cost clinic to train their students. Whether it's in session in the summer or not, or how often, requirements to participate, etc., I don't know, but perhaps they can reach a prescription and then give you samples. If you have a dentist they might do that, too, and there are free clinics but they are in high demand and you have to meet income guidelines.

There are other ways for antibiotics, but you're playing with fire and I wouldn't recommend it. For one thing even with antibiotics you have to know dosage, delivery, purity, side effects, and a host of other considerations. Some people can figure all of that out, especially with the internet today, but I would bet darn few could do it right. For example, you can probably find a farm and ranch stores selling livestock antibiotics such as penicillin, terramycin or who knows what else over the counter, but dosage, suitability, and delivery, etc. still play in as you would have to adjust it for human consumption.

No didnt really catch anything...have a recurring tooth infection...no insurance so I know what I need but having issues getting it Originally Posted by kcmark

If the infection is recurrent, then the antibiotics are not effective in eliminating the infection 100%. So all you do when you take a course of the antibiotic is wipe out the weaker bacteria, while leaving behind the stronger bacteria and enabling the heartier strains to proliferate.

Not only does taking the same antibiotic over and over again not work, you are making the problem far worse.

You need to see a dentist sooner rather than later. Trust me on this. I just got home from a consult with an oral surgeon, and I'm scheduled for oral surgery on Monday. This is a follow up to an infection that began nearly 2 years ago. I can't remember being in this much pain in my life, and I was pretty much ready to sell the surgeon my soul if only he would do the surgery right then and there. The idea of having to wait through the weekend really sucks.

For a tooth infection, the initial dental exam should run you around $50-70, and a single tooth extraction could cost as little as $50-100. The dentist will probably want an x-ray before he pulls a tooth, but a panoramic only costs around $150. Total cost for an exam, x-ray, and extraction would likely be around $300 or so. The cost of resolving your problem may not be cheap, but it is worth it a thousand times over.

Or you could put it off like I have, and now I'm looking at probably 2 weeks of recovery during which I can't work. This thucks and not in a good way!

Dr. Salerno in Lees Summit will pull the tooth for $150.00. At this point in the game the cavity has been open to long and the only thing the Dentist can do is a root canal and a crown. Unless its a front tooth I would just have it pulled, or come by the store and I will yank it out for $25.00, bring pliers and a 5th of your favorite medicinal drink.

DD, you're a dentist, too? What don't you do?
