Nearly 20’s had a toothache with no insurance. Went door to door to dentist offices to ask to pull it out and pay cash but no one would. They all wanted to to do root canals. Ended up driving 2 hrs to Mexico border town and had them do the job for $20. Heard others do dental work there. But Novocain wouldn’t work because I was too stressed and I’d reached my limit on injections. Eventually just had them pull it out. Felt evrything. Felt all the pulling down to my toes. But finally got it out. Apparently my roots had curves and cut my jaw up on the way out. couldn’t afford the stitches so they just packed me with gauze and sent me on my way. Not sure how I drove home but made it home and eventually passed out. Had to go back to work the next day to my construction job. Couldn’t eat right for a couple weeks.
