Mouth, teeth look maybe broken, has dark inside! Help

Hi! I went to feed my chameleon and I noticed her lip on the one side was curling outwards funny. So I decided to try and take a look, it looks like she may have broken teeth. As well as there is a dark spot on the roof of her mouth. It's very hard for me to see. I'm trying to figure out how to get a picture of her with her mouth open. She still eating normal and normal on every other way except her mouth! Help I'm so scared and cannot afford a huge vet bill. Any ideas what it may be?! I took a spray bottle in the jet setting and tried to gently since the side of her mouth a little and it looked like drool came out. (Not yellow or green and didn't smell like an infection, it had zero smell) please help I love her to pieces! Attached are the few pictures she would let me take. Going to take her to the vet Monday! Just want some advice!

It looks like it might be mouth rot. It needs to be cleaned out and a culture and sensitivity test should be done to determine what antibiotic the chameleon will need. The bacteria is usually pseudamonas aeruginosa.
