Dental Problem?

Hi, I have severe pain with my wisdom teeth, its half broken and its half beneath the skin, I dont have a dental health insurance , can you please guide me what will be best suited to releive my pain and how much will it cost to remove it including all xrays and other costs ,( I live in Bloomfield, NJ )?

Okay, first of all, you may have an infection. Wisdom teeth hurt as it is because, unfortunately, most adults don't have enough room in thier mouth for those 4 extra teeth.. So, naturally, they hurt when they are coming in. But if one of yours is broken and is poking through your skin, you are at risk for an infection (if you don't already have one) and should get this treated right away. As for the cost, you'll probably have to see a specialist. I'm not familiar with state average in your area, but I know here (in AZ) it's a couple hundred bucks per tooth to remove wisdom teeth... The more impacted (embedded in your gums or under your gums) they are, the worse it's going to get price wise. I have a good dental plan that saved me quite a bit when I got my wisdoms pulled.. Luckilly I only had 3 to pull.. Check them out, they really helped me a lot and are GREAT for people who don't have any dental insurance... www.savondentalplan.com If you are in THAT much pain, you should take yourself to urgent care or to the ER. They could give you something to take away the pain.. Otherwise, make an appointment with a GENERAL DENTIST (not a specialist, they are more expensive) and have them check for infection and if there is any, they'll give you antibiotics and pain pills.. This isn't too expensive to do without insurance.. You'll just be going in for an exam and you'll have to pay for the medication... Then you can wait till you're on a plan to get them pulled...
