Need immediate oral surgery, however all oral surgeons seem to want to be paid up front, and I do not have the resources.

Well, first make sure you brush at least twice a day and floss at least once a day.































Second, realize that anybody providing a service, especially a difficult one like dentistry, need to receive compensation, whether by the patient or the insurance company. Otherwise, dentists wouldn't be able to provide their services.































So, you really should get insurance. I doubt you "do not have the resources," and if that's true, any full-time job with benefits (which anyone of any skill level can get) should provide dental coverage.































Otherwise, you might check out local schools of dentistry or looking into federal assistance programs.

Check in your area to see if there is a dental school in a university in your area. Temple University offers discounted dental care and the rate is based on what the student dentist charges. Check out your area it may be worth it.
