Ask parents: You are 21 and may be covered under your parents insurance. Are you in school? They may offer insurance but it may not be for free. Are you working? You may qualify for care credit. You may find a dental office that can work with you on a monthly payment plan. Good luck.

Go see a dentist: See a dentist, find out what treatment needs to be completed. Ask for family help if you can't afford the treatment. They dentist you see may have financial options you can afford or suggest other provider options.

County clinic/hosp: County clinic or hospital will extract your wisdom teeth at no charge if the situation is diagnosed as an infection which poses danger to your health. Abscess from the wisdom teeth can be serious. Go to the emergency room when pain and inflammation sets in and request for extraction. You may have to wait for couple hours or even a whole day :).

See an oral surgeon: You need to see a dentist. Don't neglect your oral health and your body's health because you don't have insurance. Many people do not have insurance. Many dentists will give you a discount if you do not have insurance or they may offer you financing such as carecredit. This allows you to make payments over a longer period of time instead of paying upfront. You can take care of urgent needs first.
