Looking for an oral surgeon... My wisdom teeth have to be surgically removed, and due to my severe phobia to anything remotely medical, I have to be fully put under for the procedure. I'm in a fair amount of pain, and am really trying to get this done soon. The challenge: I don't have any kind of insurance. Does anyone know of an oral surgeon who either sets up payment plans or gives fairly generous discounts for an up-front cash payment?

I have to get 3 of my pretty much fully grown in wisdom teeth taken out starting with one this Wednesday. I go to WNC Community Health Services Dental Clinic (http://www.wncchs.org) since I don't have dental insurance and it's $40 per tooth. I'm not sure if it would be the same procedure as with yours, though, so I think mine would just be like pulling any other tooth.
