I'm posting here for traffic, sorry it's in the wrong place.

I'm in desperate need of advice, I'm in agony with my wisdom teeth, I can't sleep, my face is swollen. It's horrific.
I can't afford to see a dentist, I've recently moved and we can't get an NHS dentist, so would need to pay privately. I just don't have the money.

I've contacted my doctors, they were useless. They offered me stronger painkillers and referred me to an nhs dentist, I was then warned the waiting time is 12-18 months.

I can't cope with the pain anymore, is there anything I can do? Anywhere else I can go?

Check on NHS website for your area as there will be a contact number similar to 111 for urgent dental appointments - they will assess if you need to be seen and, if you do, they will arrange an appointment but you may have to travel to it; otherwise they will offer recommendations for how to manage it till you can get seen.
