I am a single mom in-between jobs, and i have NO money and no health insurance for myself. (My son is on TennCare). I need a tooth pulled BADLY. It is causing me horrible pain and I think it is getting infected. I obviously can't afford a regular dentist. I need advice.

do no longer attempt to tug it your self. It sounds like the tooth is already ineffective and has replace into brittle for this reason. it is why it broke off. in case you do attempt to tug it, you may desire to reason it to interrupt much extra and depart products interior your gums. that could desire to require a surgical extraction, and that's no longer a delightful adventure. Do see a dentist as quickly as you are able to. you probable will could desire to have it extracted yet a minimum of the dentist could have the potential to grant techniques on what you're able to do to fill the gap the lacking tooth will depart at the back of. do exactly no longer depart it because of the fact which could deliver approximately an infection and which will reason so lots extra issues.

Try going to your health department or call the health department and explain your situation, they should be able to point you in the right direction. Go to the FIA (Family Independence Agency) and sign up for emergency medical insurance. They may also have someone to refer you to that helps people with no medical insurance. I know if you went to FIA they would be able to help you. I stay in Michigan, and there's a hospital that people with no insurance can go to. Sign up with FIA as soon as possible, because once you are signed and accepted you will be approved from the date you signed up. So even if you have to go to an emergency room, once FIA is approved all you have to do is give them the medical card number, so you won't be stuck with the bill.

Do you have a dental college in your area? Or talk to someone from the dental association to see if they have any suggestions. Lastly, I'd see a good local dentist, explain the problem & ask if you can make some kind of payment arrangement. Do you belong to a church, ask if they can refer you to a dentist who can help.
Good luck.

Go to your local dental school . Most of these places do reduced price and even free dental procedures by students who are supervised by licensed dentists. Hurry cause there's a waiting list. They go by your income paying 80% of the cost. In your case,they'll pay all of it. Good luck.

I had a relative who was a dentist he used to pull his children's teeth by tying the tooth to a door knob with a string and then slamming the door.

Ask your local assistance office to recommend a dentist who provides low-cost or pro bono service. Also, if there is a charge, ask the dentist if they can set up a payment plan for you.
