Talk to your dentist about a payment plan.

If you're ever in severe pain you can go to your local emergency room. They will take care of you because it would be considered an emergency situation. You might receive a hospital bill that's larger than what the dentist office would have charged, though knowing first hand about severe tooth pain, it would be worth it. There's also the possibility of receiving benefits through the help of the hospital's social worker as a result of your visit to the emergency room. Those who previously answered your question gave some good advice as well that you may want to consider. Anyway, I really hope that you don't have to endure the pain too much longer.

If you had them extracted one at a time with local anaesthesia, the cost would be much lower. You are paying a substantial amount for general anaesthesia. With a good oral surgeon, there should be little or no pain with a local anaesthetic.
If you are in Southern California, a hearty recommendation for Dr. David Hochwald--a great oral surgeon in Huntington Beach and Bellflower.
Please contact me if you like.

I'm sorry you're in pain!!! Okay, see if you can get a billing plan with your dentist. If that dentist doesn't take payments, you could call 1-800-DENTIST (I think that's the number?) and see if there are dentists in your area that can work with you for a billing plan! Good luck!

Does your local college have dental students that will do this for free or a nominal charge. I know that Marquette University in Milwaukee does some dental work for their clinicals but to what extent I don;t know.

I had to that.
I went to the county and had it done. I was in college at the time, the health center refered me.
But it was scary as hell, the guy walked up with pliers - I am not kidding. Yanked the dang thing out. Not garage pliers.
Good luck with that
