No Ins or money?: Sorry to hear that. Do you have family or friends that can help you? Are you on Medicaid? Other avenues to seek help are local dental societies, State Welfare offices, Religious organizations, dental schools, hospital based dental residency programs.

Paying for Extracts.: Good day; Care Credit, a finance arrangement can be very helpful in these situations. If you have a history with dentist, he might be able to work out a payment plan with you. However, once the teeth are extracted you probably will not require further surgical care, necessitating payment at time of extractions.

Like a splinter...: Like a splinter in your finger, this type of symptoms persist until removed. Find a way to finance treatment, and make it happen; or continue living with the pain and risk/presence of infection. You may have good luck with public health clinic or a dental school...

Assistance: You may try contacting the local or state dental society in your area to see if there are any programs in your area that are set up to help provide care for individuals who are uninsured or cannot afford dental care. If there is a dental school in your area, you can contact them as the fees are generally much less than in private practice. In the interim, I would suggest OTC meds as needed.
