The dentist put cotton balls in my tooth?

Wow that's really sad you need a root canal and can't get it? They can't work out a payment plan with your parents? It's going to keep hurting if you don't get the root canal and you can very well end up losing the tooth. A temporary filling is only meant for a few weeks or months at most until you can get in for a root canal and they get the crown made. This is really sad that in the USA people spend thousands to get their children cosmetic braces then there are other kids like you who need medical care and can't afford it. I hope Americans think about this next time they want to make fun of British teeth.
