So I have a wisdom tooth growing in sideways almost and its quite painful. So much that I can't chew or talk and now I can't sleep. Unfortunately I don't have insurance or the money for a dentist.
Any tips on how to do it yourself?
I'm thinking to slice the gum open with an exacto knife, yank the tooth out with a pair of needle nose pliers, and sew it all shut when I regain consciousness.
I've sewed cuts on the inside of my mouth before. (Drinking from a broken glass and sliced my gums open without realizing)
I'm not looking forward to my weekend project.

Unless anyone in NY knows a place for free dentistry, since I'm really not looking forward to this.

When my wife (GF at the time) didn't have insurance they cut her a deal for like 150 bucks.
Sometimes they have to really get up on the side of the chair and yank those things. |

And if it's growing in sideways, there is no way you can do it yourself anyway. That's a complete non-starter.
Start talking to dentists about payments...or call some social service agencies and ask them where you can get some help with this. That's why they are there.

When I had mine out last january, the dentist told me that in some cases, messing with the nerves can cause serious effects, such as jaw paralyzation, loss of feeling, loss of taste, etc.... I would NOT try to do this on your own. not to mention the previously mentioned risk of secondary infection. This is the worst idea i've ever heard on this website. |

If you are serious here is hoe mine went.
Cut off the gums, have something to suck up blood so you can see, drill a hole through the tooth and then split it into pieces. Then take each piece out individually. Novacane for local anesthetic and laughing gas (nitrus) for general anesthetic. Get someone else to do it, you can not do it yourself. Even if someone esle does it you will likley hurt worse afterwards AND will probably suffer perminant damage.
It might be easier to take out the tooth in front of it that it is growing into(if its growing into your teeth and not into your jaw).
Get a credit card, pay with that.
Rob a walmart
do anything but pull it yourself. Don't be stupid.

Even professionals have a hard time with wisdom teeth and if yours is growing in sideways, it will be a chore for them.
Do it yourself, you'll never be the same.

DO NOT attempt to do this yourself it will cost you MORE money in the long run when you **** up your mouth. |

And no, I don't live in a shack, I live in Manhattan.
