Not sure if you’ve looked at this already, Pinellas County Dept of Health has a dental clinic that offers low-cost to free services for the uninsured: https://pinellas.floridahealth.gov/programs-and-services/clinical-and-nutrition-services/dental/index.html. I would reach out to them ASAP. An abscess is no joke and absolutely an emergency- extractions performed in ERs are actually covered by health insurance, so if you’ve got Medicaid or something similar, they should eventually help pick up the bill if it comes to that.

Lmao, yeah- that’s State College. Though maybe not as good as it was pre-COVID, CATA provides pretty amazing transit coverage, even when compared to other large college towns.
