I Need My Wisdom's Pulled, Any Low Cost Options?

396545381 I am currently a student and I don't make a whole lot of money. I have insurance but it only covers 50%. I can't afford to pull them currently because it's so expensive. They are all impacted meaning its actually a surgery not a simple tooth extraction. They have to cut open the gum, pull out the tooth, then stitch the gum back shut.

Right now it's really painful, like I guess a pressuring pain, not a pinching pain that comes and goes, a constant ache. Its hard to sleep at night sometimes. I need three teeth extracted and its like 6-800 per tooth but only half off it is covered =(... plus it'll be more probably since I have really bad anxiety and they'll probably want to put me under anesthesia or laughing gas or something and my insurance covers 0% of that.
hahaha i cant exactly use pliers to pull out a tooth still underneath the gum :P Plus I could damage a nerve that way and paralyze my face.
