You need to go to the dentist asap! If you have an abscess you could go septic really quick and then your life could be in danger. If you explain to the dentist that you don't have insurance they will be receptive to setup a payment plan.
You have a medical emergency go to a dentist right away!

If you are reasonably credit worthy here is a link to a card that is easy to get and is used just for medical and dental care- most dentists accept it too.

No I don't work for them, I have used the card in the past though for dental emergencies, you can apply online and if approved they give you a card number and credit limit within seconds, that you can use right away at a dentist office
They can even tell you what dentists in the area you live, accept the card.

You could just go to the Washoe ER. All hospitals have on-call Dentists or Oral Surgeons for dental emergencies, and if it warrants it, the on call physicians will call them for you or send you to a local dentist who will aide you.

Good Luck!

Also, in the interest of options, the loan company I used for my wife's dental care was called "Dental Care, Yes." I do not work for them, but I have an account with them and have been satisfied with their service and reasonable rates (mine is 11.99%)
