I need 4 wisdom teeth extractions and 1 root canal but can't afford it. Would it be dangerous to hold off on the root canal?

I went to the dentist last month for a cracked wisdom tooth that's giving me constant pain. All 4 of mine are impacted and need to be removed for $3,000. Then I need a root canal for an additional $4000.

I can't really afford either but I was thinking about getting a Care Credit card because I'm on a fixed budget of $700 a month with no insurance. Would it be bad to hold off on the root canal until like, 6 or 7 months later? I know I should get it fixed all at once but I live in America, so.
