Wisdom Teeth Help! =(

[jus_tine_e]

I've needed my wisdom teeth out now for five years, and recently (this past year) I've been experiencing excruciating pain and headaches, which I know is a result of not having the funds to have them removed.

I have all four, and they are all impacted, which has led to severe crowding and me biting my tongue on more than one painful occassion. Food is always getting in the space between my gums and the crown of the bottom wisdom teeth and I suffer chronic infections.

What can I do about this? I'm 19 years old, I don't live at home, I'm working as much as I can, hoping to save for college in the coming September, and I just cannot afford to pay for the necessary surgery. Will a hospital emergency room help me, or will they just give me a referral?

I got my pulled and you know what my dentist was right the wisdom teeth serve of no purpose so get it pulled.

I don't know if this would help, but if you could locate in your area a Donated Dental Program.  This a program that donates dental work to those who do not have dental insurance or state funded insurance.  I think there is some type of income standards, but it is worth a try.  What you would have to do is fill out all paperwork to see if you meet the qualifications for the program.  They would then set you up for a exmination with one of the local participating dentist.  The dentist then lays out all work needed and the time frame.  Good Luck.
