Ok so I know there are a whole lot of about both topics but I would personally feel better if i told my story and you guys and give me some kind of feed back?

Now for the past 4 days i've had extreme pain in my mouth, it started out very dull and as days past it grew. At first it was my cheek, headaches, pressure, inside pain and occasional sensitivity to hot/cold. Pretty much the first 3 days it was clear sign of wisdom teeth. Now though the pain as shifted and i can't bite down, i can only eat "liquids" or anything mushy. My gum and far back tooth the last one on the upper right side pulsates and when i attempt to wiggle it it hurts.
I have to find a whole new dentist because my old one was really bad and i haven't seen a dentist in 3 years because my insurance coverage was up. I am super super fearful of the dentist so is anyone from vancouver, bc that may be able to recommend me one? The only time i have to see one is on saturday and i hope it gets better by then. I've been taking ibuprofen and tylenol 1 but it barely helps.

So, what do you guys think? Root canal or wisdom teeth? I'm currently only covered under basic health so a root canal will cost me a lot of money i am willing to fork out $300 for the wisdom tooth but a root canal is going to be $1000 . I am deathly afraid of both but this is becoming unbearable.

Thanks a lot for your time and help!!
