Wisdom teeth?
You should definately find a way to get them extracted. Most places understand how expensive these procedures are and offer affordable payment plans. Now here is the thing, usually insurance doesn%26#039;t really cover much of this type of procedure anyway, some don%26#039;t at all (not sure why). This procedure, depending on location, is usually anywhere from $1600 to $2500. Also a word of advice, if you have wisdom teeth that have already went through the gums, you can usually get your dentist to remove them; this is a lot cheaper than the maxillofacial specialist (ones who extract wisdom teeth). You could also get them out one by one, getting the one causing you problems first and this could also make it more affordable since you wouldn%26#039;t owe so much money at one time.





Really the only way to rid of the pain is to get them removed. You can take ibuprofen for the inflammation but it is only temporary. Some have no problem keeping their wisdom teeth after they%26#039;ve come in (usually those with bigger jaws), but most must get them extracted not only for lack of room (which causes pressure on the jaws and other teeth) but also for impaction (wisdom teeth are facing other teeth or are slanted abnormally).
Reply:the only thing i can tell you is save up your money and take advil. if they hurt that bad you really need to get them out. some places have payment plans. you should check into it, that way you can just make small payments on your bill.
Reply:Go talk with a dentist and see if you can be put on a payment plan.
Reply:talk to your doctor
Reply:It could become impacted, making the problem more expensive and more difficult to solve. Please see if you can find a way to get it removed.





I feel for you. Been there. Impacted wisdom tooth, dry socket afterward, ouch! When I was waiting for a follow up visit to do something about the dry socket, I discovered that 2 Benadryl plus 2 Extra Strength Tylenol relieve pain pretty nicely as over the counter medicines go. The same ingredients are in Tylenol PM.
Reply:Ibuprofen will help with the swelling. I had mine removed and I still remember the pain they caused before they were removed.
Reply:Sorry, you don%26#039;t really have a choice in this matter. the human jaw is not designed to hold your wisdom teeth, your ancestors...cavemen had larger jaws...it%26#039;s just evolution. As your teeth make their appearance they sometimes come in straight, most of the time they do not. If you do not get them removed they could become impacted and if they get infected in the process you could have a larger problem...the infection is serious because of the close proximity to your brain. check with your dentist on a payment plan or family members to help out financially. In the future do not accept a job without medical and dental coverage even McDonald%26#039;s covers their employees. Good-luck! and I%26#039;m sorry for the pain that you are in.

Reply:you can try the health department. they might know of a place that has a sliding fee. i go to a dental clinic and they charge by your income. they dont do oral surgeries or anything but they fill cavities and do extractions and cleanings and things like that. for me it%26#039;s only 30 bucks. there might be something like that where you live, make a few calls.
