No insurance and scared

Okay, right now I have no money and no dental insurance and am 100% terrified at the thought of setting foot within a mile of a dentist office and I have 30+ cavities that need filling. I also need my wisdom teeth out and need to have two or more root canals as well as a lot of tooth decay. So my question is... what would be the best plan of action to take? Or what are some payment methods that don't involve running me into the ground credit wise? I just got a job.. but it doesn't have insurance.

I have a lot of pain from my wisdom teeth and a lot of sensitivity in some of my back teeth. Its not that I haven't taken care of my teeth over the years, I have really weak enamel and when I was a kid my parents couldn't afford to take me and even now, as a young adult, I can't even afford to go (not that I would willingly go to any dentist where I would be conscious). What should I do?

Dr. Rechter: You need to address pain and potential infection issues first.  Even though there may be considerable amounts of dentistry to be done these will always be your priorities.  You may want to check out any of the Dental School or Dental Residency programs if finances are an issue.  After you locate the facility that will work within your means then a  comprehensive evaluation and radiographs are indicated.  A diagnosis needs to be made first and then a treatment plan for proper triage and sequencing.  Anesthesia and sedation issues can be adressed at that time.
