<prompt> Human: So long story short, I need an emergency root canal because the tooth has such a bad infection it is literally eating away at the bone in my mouth. I am broke. The root canal will cost 1000, of which I do not have and would take 2 months to save up for if I saved every single penny. I am on my parents insurance. It is all used up and we only have 100 left. When the dentist told us how much it would cost out-of-pocket my mom said oh no Im not going to pay that. I know she wont. She doesnt care that I have a bone eating disease in my tooth. What do I do? I cant pay for this but I need this surgery.  <response>: Call dentists until you find one with payment arrangements.
