Get Bad Wisdom Tooth Pulled

Unfortunately, one of my bottom wisdom teeth are growing in at an angle, and it is pushing against my other teeth. It started hurting about a week ago but was tolerable. Now the pain has become intolerable, and it hurts to swallow. After talking to my dentist, it is infected and will get worse.

I think the best course of action is to get it removed. Usually not too expensive or difficult, but this time the tooth is under the gums and only a small portion is exposed - meaning it needs a surgical removal.

I usually have a backup fund specifically for stuff like this, but it was used earlier this month to help family needs. Due to poor timing, my backup fund is still dry, and my next paycheck is on February 11th. I'll have enough then, but because of the infection I don't know if I should wait that long.

I'm hoping I can afford it quickly, but as it stands I only have about $100 on me, which isn't nearly enough. The funds will help me be able to get it removed. I didn't put the cost of post-surgery painkillers, but I think I can live without them - I just want the tooth gone.

I feel a little weird asking for help like this, honestly. I just don't have anybody who can help - and I'm trying to get it figured out.

Thank you for taking the time to read. I hope we can have it figured out soon. Thank you.
