Unlikely.

Go to the dentist, sometimes dentist will let you pay on a payment plan.

most dentist will let you pay it out,

ask them if you can pay say $100 today, or maybe use your credit card.....it is an emergency if you cant eat/drink

just go and have your mouth worked on. it's better to just get it done at once than to strain the pain out for a few days. i went close to a year with wisdom teeth pain because i didn't know shit about how dentist charge nor did i have 1200 to have a tooth removed. one day i said **** it and went. found out i could pay my bill in payments and i did so. now anytime my shit hurts i go to the dentist immediatly. though now i has insurance.

No, my ex used to work at the emergency room....people came in there all the time for toothaches.

As long as it isn't the dentist that Steve Martin played in Little Shop of Horrors.
