Thanks guys... I am going to talk to the local dentist which is my 2 youngest boys dentist and I am hoping he will understand and take a look and not charge me or at least bill me so I can make payments when I can.
Right now the side of my mouth that has the lumps kinda feels weird (kinda numb but not really numb) but I am fighting a head cold right now so I am hoping the weird feeling is just from the pressure from the cold.
I am really glad I found this forum so I can talk about what is going on without making my family worry.

Thanks again I so appreciate all your advice and I will let you know what the dentist says.
