Is there anything at all anyone can recommend?

I'm scheduled for surgery on my ovaries on Friday morning. I can't have an infection in my tooth! I'm afraid that they'll have to cancel the surgery.
Also, I'm hot and heavy in the middle of nursing school and have clinicals all week that we can not miss. Can not miss! ARGH!!!!

I've had a lower back tooth that broke off like a year ago, about 1/2 of it is still there. Last night I got a headache and then it migrated to the tooth area, but most of the pain is in my bottom right jaw and underneath, kind of going under my chin area.
I absolutely 100% have no money for a dentist and no dental insurance, dont even have a dentist - bad I know....I can't take time off this week from school, its a very important week with labs, clinicals, ect......this really stinks...
It was bad enough trying to schedule the surgery in, there was literally only 1 day I could do it and the Dr's office rescheduled another patient to fit me in.

Last night I took 2 tylenol, 4 ibuprofen and 1 aleve. Finally after about 2 hours
the pain subsided enough for me to fall asleep.

Does anyone have any miracle suggestions? I wonder if my general MD would see me and prescribe an antibiotic and pain relief just to get me through the week and surgery? Do you think?
