I don't want to get my wisdom teeth out...?

I'm 20 and live totally on my own, and have very little family support since my dad died earlier this year. When he died, I lost health insurance. I haven't been working long enough to get it at work.

But I have a small mouth and all four wisdom teeth are coming in. They're implacted. My upper right one is growing at an angle, half of it erupted and half of it can't. It hurts so bad, my cheek is swollen. I can't eat on that side and I feel like crying when I brush it. Orajel doesn't help, Advil and Tylenol don't, my friend even gave me a few hydrocodones to see it it would help. It never did.

I couldn't afford to put more than $500 down on surgery and have virtually credit, is it possible an oral surgeon will still finance me?

It really hurts so bad, I can't afford this right now but I don't know what else to do.
