If I have trouble paying, my dentist office offers financing to help pay for my work. It's like 3 months no interest and the interest rates are pretty low after that. Much cheaper than putting it on a credit card.

Diablolo, It is hard without the money to go to the dentist. Is there a clinic near you, or if you live in the USA can you apply for Medicaid? I empathize with you as I was a single parent for many years, (my husband and I split up when my children were aged 2 and 7), and that was so hard--not being able to take them to the dentist. Your wisdom teeth will grow, but I worry that you may have problems with them, especially if any of them don't have room to get through the skin. Maybe try brushing your teeth at least three times a day so the cavities won't get any worse. If you get a toothache, you're going to be in a lot of pain. You don't say how old you are, but if you're in school, do what you need to do to stay on top of your studies or go to a trade school--whatever it takes to get a decent paying job so that you can afford to go to a dentist one day. Good luck to you.

Stains don;t always mean cavities, but you should have a dentist look. It is hard to keep wisdom teeth clean for most people be cause they are hard to reach in the mouth.
You should call your local university dental school, many times they do dental work on a sliding scale without insurance (you pay what you can afford based on your income).

Well, i actually had this happen to me. :( It's not that it grows in with it, it's that they are sooooo far back, when you normally brush your teeth, since they are so out of the way, you miss them, and obviously if you would never brush your teeth thats what would happen... Maybe you could call around and see if any dentists in your area have payment plans or something... I know they are expensive, but once that pain sets in, you are going to want to fix it somehow... Just call around... The worst that can happen is where you are right now! Good Luck!

I currently have a cavity on one of my wisdom teeth but it has been grown in for a while. I am actually having them taken out next week!

if it is paining you go to dentist. offer to pay in instalments if its real bad. i left it real late and got blood poisoning from an apse's not sure of what it was really as i was not in the best of humour when he said it.

ONLY A DENTIST CAN TELL YOU FOR SURE IF THESE DARK SPOTS ARE CAVITIES.
IT'S COMMON TO HAVE THESE PITS AND/OR FISSURES GET DARK BECAUSE OF DENTAL STAINS.
YOU NEED A GOOD PROFESSIONAL CLEANING TO REMOVE THESE STAINS.
