Go to an emergency room dental clinic. They do extractions typically for free or for very little. The downside is, because these are students working on them, you might get a little more hurt, haha. But, make sure you make the decision you want on that you DO have an extraction.
ps, you don't need medicare/medicaid to go to these. I went to one in my undergrad.

i could have used garlic to cure the abscess on my neck and ass instead of having them sliced open?

Yes, depending on how advanced the infection is.
Probably the dumbest and worst advice anyone on this thread has given. Hey let's have a bunch of rookies pulling my fucking teeth out, great fucking idea. You don't need to have anything pulled and only idiots get their teeth pulled. It's probably the most unnecessary risk there is and the biggest scam the dental profession has ever conjured up.

Are you some kind of fucking retard, you stupid dipshit? <--That's my attempt at acting like Lumie.
Abscesses in the teeth can be some of the worst infections you can have. You can use Amoxicillin for only so long before it spreads because by that point, the tooth is just going to be screwed. Not to mention, they're not rookies. While they're students, they still have experience doing it. Just not as much as an endodontic dentist.
Lumie's one of those twats who believes that you can cure HIV with something stupid like Vitamin C.

Of course Britain is at the bottom. You have to actuallyvisita dentist to register in the statistical count.
Lumi, it is not stupid to have 3 rd molars extracted. Many times they erupt partially and act as bacteria trap, and may always serve as a source of infection. How else is a dental student supposed to learn? Besides by the time they start pulling teeth they are well into dental school, may even be doing 2 extra years on top of the 4 years to become an oral surgeon. Pulling teeth is not rocket science, certainly not the hardest thing to do in dental. My guess is the OP's tooth has already lost a lot of bone and because it is badly decayed, it will prolly be easy to remove. What is/was right for you as far as treatment for various, illnesses may not be right for someone else. What if the OP takes your advice and uses garlic and drops dead from a brain infection?

I have a friend who is a dentist. He said you can die from it. Disregard lizard men advice. If you can't afford $600 get on a payment plan, they shouldn't make you pay up front right?

thats not true.
if molars were unnecessary, god wouldnt have created them in humans. they are intelligently designed like everything else in the human body
What Kuriin said. Source my sister is a dentist. She has worked in ER rooms in DC too. Who do you think stitches up someone's face when they have been shot? Not a regular resident. Dentists know the face nerves. They are required to have one on call.
Dental students working on their exam will actually pay you to let them do procedures. Clinics like Kurin said are cheaper options too. Still better than doing it yourself.
LOL. Well I guess if you are a creationist. Actually some think that we are evolving out of our 3rd molars, many people are missing them all togeather. Our skulls are smaller than they used to be and we don't eat the same foods as we used to.

No harm to try?
The clock is ticking. If he doesn't get that shit sorted out he dies.
He can use some penicillin , which may or may not buy him some time, but he needs to make a priority to see a dentist and get that shit pulled out of his mouth.
