I have a massive infection in my jaw!

My name is Evan, I am a 21 year old male. I live in south new jersey working full-time for minimum wage, and minimum benefits. I have absolutely no dental coverage of any kind.

My bottom two wisdom teeth began to erupt when I was 18 (figures it couldn't have happened when I was a minor under my parents dental plan.) Since then, They have impacted, and become infected. As such, since I am now 21, almost 22, I'm going on 4 years with a now, raging infection in my lower jaw. The gums surrounding my bottom maulers, have become red, with chronic swelling, bleeding, and pussing.

It doesn't stop there. The infection has also spread to my tonsils, and I now have an acute tonsilitus, and formation of tonsiloliths, leaving a fowl taste in my mouth, and worse breath. I brush and floss my teeth, 4-5 times a day, just to prevent embaressing bad breath alone, let alone any more spread of infection.

The pain has actually gotten so severe, that I have to take excedrine migraine 3 times a day. The pain spreads from my now swolen lymphnodes in my neck, up my throat, throughout my lower jaw, and into my inner-ears.

I have tried my hardest to find a cheap way to have my wisdom teeth extracted, and get on some kind of antibiotics, but it's just not happening!

I need help, as much help as I can get.
