May need surgery with no insurance.

Everyone seems to need to remove thier wisdom teeth at some point. But not only have I neglected my oral health, my left side wisdom tooth is impacted and rotted. :(
Even worse, its leaning toward the tooth in front of it and I believe that its now starting to push that tooth up. I can feel my bite out of alignment and it hurts to chew ANYTHING on that side.

Im worried cause I dont even think I have health insurance let alone dental, and while I have a nice little savings, Im afraid Id be broke or in dept if I got this fixed. Id tell my parents, but thier even worse off financially, and Im kinda thier backup bill payer. The last thing they need to hear is this.

I know this isnt going to fix itself, its just going to get worse. I dont know how this will financially effect us all. Please pray that God would create a way for it to be fixed without us loosing our money.

(P.S./off topic: Anyone else get this kinda thing fixed without insurance? Is it all that much?)

Praying!

(my aunt had dental surgery without insurance. You can expect it to cost about $500-$1000, but it will cost more the longer you wait.)

To have all 4 of my wisdom teeth out cost $3,000. I used CareCredit at the time because I was uninsured, but that wasn't such a good idea --I am still paying off that balance 4 years later.

If you live near the border of Mexico (specifically Juarez) and have a passport, I can find out where you can get dental work done well for super cheap. I know it sounds really shady, but my grandparents have been doing it for years, and nothing horrible has happened to them.
