If I get my tooth pulled what will happen!! Please help :(?

First off, I'm very scared of the dentist. I have a very bad toothache and they will probably have to pull my tooth. My family does not have insurance, and I'm 15. I've only been a few times because of the whole money thing. My tooth hurts very bad and just started giving me headaches and a little ear ache. There is also a side of the tooth missing a little on the inside side. I'm assuming they'll have to pull it, but feel free to tell me if I' wrong, I would love to hear it. Anyways, after they pull the tooth, can I get a replacement? Could they just cap my tooth? I'm so scared. Thanks.

if money is an issue... yes to pull it(avg. 150.00) is your best answer...in afree world you would remove the infected nerve and fill the tooth (avg. 750.00), but if too much is broke it will require a crown( pretty much a helmet for your tooth(avg. 850.00) but either way dont be scared. The worst of the pain is what you feel now. Get to a denist asap.... scared or not they can perscribe an antibiotic that will buy you a little time to work up your nerve...dont worry, it WILL be OK you will be numb!
