Basically, I took a lot of aleve, probably more than was good for me. If you get a $100 Plus membership from Sam's Club, the have a health allies program that saved me 60% on my wisdom teeth. This still wasn't affordable, but many offices offer payment plans. The one I went to applied for a credit card with a monthly payment agreement.

Btw, the membership @ sam's club is refundable.Health Question & Answer

I have had severe dental problems for a long time and know what its like when you cant go to a dentist.
Home remedies that work for a while
Take an aspirin and crush up between two spoons. and a little water to make a paste and apply directly to the tooth.
If you have any gaping holes: take a whole clove (like you stick in a ham) and actually stick it in the hole. It is a natural ante-septic.
also, IF YOU ARE LEGAL AGE: searing pain can be relieved by swishing with hard alcohol. Any will make you feel a little better because of the alcohol but the key is to get one that has been OAK BARREL AGED. Oak has been used for cleaning wounds for tens of thousands of years and alcohol that is aged in oak barrels (like Jim Beam) take on the healing properties.
Good luck!Health Question & Answer

You could try a local anaesthetic like "Orajel", but that will only work for gum pain. If the pain is much deeper in the jaw, it probably won't help - for that you'll need an analgesic like aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, etc. (morphine would work great! :-) ) Health Question & Answer

LOOK FOR LOCAL DENTIST COUPONS THEY WILL GIVE U FREE EXAM/ X-RAYS AND WRITE U A STRONG PAIN RELIEVE PRESCRIPTION. ( Just the other day I saw a coupon for removal of wisdom tooth for $100 ! ) Similar thing happened to me. I JUST TOLD THEM THE NEXT WEEK I COULDN'T COME BACK TILL I GOT MY INSURANCE PLAN (THEN I JUST WENT TO A BETTER DENTIST) WORKED OUT GREAT.

Hurry up and get some dental insurance that only makes u wait like till the next month to use it ! I think some sort of HMO like blue shield or safeguard ... etc , just search a lot online for a low price one. then u can get your work done for less.

If the pain is still unbearable your going to just have to pay a lot and get it fixed. I complained a lot to many dentist and one actually offered to do the work for much less ! I got a reduced price :) they where so nice. So just go to one and explain to them your financial trouble, maybe they will help you out with the payments. You don't have to stick to one, you can get a second/third opinion.Health Question & Answer
