Teaching hospitals: Teaching hospitals with dental programs usually charge less. There are local community hospitals that work under subsidy. Look for free dental clinic that provide free dental care for low-income family. I recently volunteered at care harbor la and many people were able to receive free dental care. Do some research but don't wait! extraction maybe a cheaper alternative in the short run.

Talk with dentist: You should discuss this with the dentist or his financial coordinator. There may be some options available to you to get this treatment done before it's too late for the tooth.
