Answers:
Sounds like your teeth are really infected. First, start brushing 2 or 3 times a day with hydrogen peroxide mixed with baking soda. Tastes a little bad but will help to clean your teeth and get rid of the infection, which will help your pain.

I just did a quick Google search and found these:
Grand Rapids Community College: Dental Clinic maps.google.com
Grand Rapids, 49503 - (616) 234-4237

Walker Medical Instructional Services www.walkermedical.net
1035 4 Mile Rd NW, Grand Rapids, 49544 - (616) 784-3001

Ross Medical Education Center www.rossmedicaleducation.com
2035 28th St SE # 0, Grand Rapids, 49508 - (616) 243-3070

Good luck to you.

Amy,
What you really need to get is an AmeriPlan discount card. It will really take a bite out of the cost of dental work. You just need to make sure to go to a participating provider. Go to:
http://www.mybenefitsplus.com/40495921... Click on Locate a provider and once you have found one (and Grand Rapids will have a lot) then simply click on Join Now and fill out the fields. You will get a number that you can take to that dentist immediately and get savings (a card is also in the mail).
The card only costs $11.95 a month.
U of M School of Dentistry is about 2 hours away
