broken tooth...oh god it hurts!!?

I have a broken tooth, it hurts like hell. It had a silver filling put in it a while ago and now its broke but the filling is still hanging in there. the enamel has been eaten off on the side of it too. I swear I could just rip it out right now, it hurts so bad. I am dirt poor, no dental insurance, how much do dentists usually charge for extractions....and yea I know it depends on the dentist..obviously, but ballpark figure here...
--------------------
which tooth are you talking about? it sounds like after your tooth broke you may possibly have some nerve exposure. an extraction may be less costly but if this tooth is one that you do alot of chewing with then perhaps having it fixed may be better. it's hard to say ballpark depending on your location. where i live, an extraction, without doing a surgical (difficult) extraction, it would cost about $90. or the filling may only cost you $120 to save the tooth. but thats where i live. good luck.
