Wisdom Teeth Help? (And Cost)?!

Question: Wisdom Teeth Help? (And Cost)?

I just went to an oral surgeon today and it turns out I have five wisdom teeth, all of which have to be removed. Now the cost of the procedure (anesthetics included) comes out to be just a few dollars shy of $4400. My mom just told me a minute ago that it was too expensive and that she refused to pay for it. She also said she'll make me go through the procedure without anesthesia or laughing gas. Does anybody know how I can get money or make money? She won't let me have a job or anything, but she said if I want the procedure done, then I'll have to pay for it myself. Please keep in mind that I'm only 16. And my family's insurance only covers a few hundred dollars (200-300 maximum).

P.S. I really can't do the procedure without anesthesia because I've already had four permanent molars taken out (with out laughing gas or anesthesia) and I was really just barely able to make it past them taking one tooth out.

I really need the help and ideas so please, anything is greatly appreciated.

YOu really cant just go with numbing the area and them pulling it out? (Never had a tooth pulled out though, only root canals and crowns here). But at 16, and 4 grand to make.. I dont think it could happen any time soon. Even if you had a part time job. Might have to suck it up and get the wisdom teeth taken out by just numbing it.

Maybe, make multiple appts? One or two teeth per treatment?

1 your mother is retarded.
2 you cant get your tooth pulled without anesthesia. if you can, your superman
3 youve had 4 molars taken out and you have 5 wisdom teeth?.. nvm. to easy.
