that i can see into in the back of my mouth i'm thinking i should probably just go ahead and yank it or perform emergency surgery myself since i can't afford the dentist. i'm thinking i should get nice and drunk then yank the thing.

I've got a wisdom tooth?
If your wisdom tooth isn't hurting you, there is absolutely no reason to pull it out. If it is hurting you, go see a dentist. Wisdom teeth can't just be pulled out. They have to be surgically removed because of where they are in your mouth. This is not something you can do yourself. You'll wind up with a lot more pain and have an emergency visit to the dentist to remove what you couldn't get. Also, any time you have a tooth removed, you must have antibiotics because your mouth is a great place for germs to grow. Removing a tooth leaves an opening for bacteria to invade your bloodstream. Trust me, sepsis isn't any fun!





Here are some suggestions: look in your phone book for your area's public health district. If they don't provide low-cost dental care, they know who does. If there is an oral surgery or dental school in your area, they may give you a reduced price if you let a student work on you. Also, many oral surgeons will work with you on payment options. One I visited told me about a program that's basically a low-interest loan for dental work. They work with you so you have monthly payments you can afford. If you still don't think you can afford it, call your friends and family. See if any of them will help you out. If they won't, call up your local churches and see if they can help or know someone who will.





Hang in there! Look around for your options first before you try to take it out yourself!
Reply:Probably not a good idea. If it isnt hurting you than you dont really need to do anything. If it is hurting you than you should go to the dentist. Check out someplace like western dental or some low cost place. Good Luck!
Reply:NO! Do NOT yank the tooth out yourself. This will be extremely painful, even when drunk, and can cause infection and serious complexities. If you can see it, it is already too late to remove it by yourself. You will just incur a forced visit to the dentist (and maybe even doctor), further denting your pocket.





If you cannot afford it, do not do anything about it. It is not an ailment that absolutely needs to be treated. In the past, people did not yank the wisdom teeth, and they have no adverse affect other than "pushing" your other teeth and being uncomfortable.





Get it professionally done when you can actually afford it. It does not make much of a difference to do it now or later. This is not an emergency, and it is much better left alone.
