In Extreme Pain, Need Root Canal, No Insurance, No Job, What Can I Do ?

My son who is 35 years old has a dental problem, that I can't afford or able to provide any monetary help. I only get $339.00 a month to live on, because of a heart attack and diabetes among other things. He went to the free dental clinic of SW Washington State and was told he needed 2 Root Canals. But the Free Dental Clinic does not have equipment to do root canals. He has No Insurance, No Money, No Job. He is doing good to excellent on getting his life back on track from meth addiction and the courts have have his time tied up each week with 1 court date, 3 AA meetings and 3 Clinic counseling meetings. My suggestion to him was why don't he have them pull them and he said they won't. He has been on an antibiotic and he is in extreme pain, what can he do ? Any Suggestions ?

Pity you are not in Thailand. Extractions and root canals are dirt cheap and are professionally done in places like Chiang Mai.What about Mexico? I am assuming you are American Extractions are relatively easy procedure. Surely there is some compassionate dentist who will do the job. If it is a non essential teeth like the wisdom then extraction is the go. If they are important teeth then well it is better to do a RCT
