I work for oral surgeon's and this will only get worse. Ibuprofen can help with the swelling - up to 800mg every 8 hours. In the mean time, as sore as tissues are, try to brush/rinse under the inflammed tissue (plague is building up under tissue where tooth is attempting to break through.) Chronic inflammation leads to infection. Antibiotics would be helpful too. You could try going to the emergency room. Most have oral surgeons that they work with and then maybe you can work out a payment plan. good luck.
you need them removed
sorry i cant help you haha
Well Im sure they will bill you, you can risk going into collections for it if it starts to hurt you.... I would not wait to get it out, itll only get worse.
See if they can put you on a payment plan. Since it doesnt hurt right now start paying them now so that you have already paid them some before they start. Some offices also offer financing as well, and sometimes you can get interest free for 12-18 months.
Yeah it's just going to get worse. You're eventually going to need medical attention. If it gets infected it will be worse. Good Luck, if I was you I would find the money necessary. Maybe you could get on a payment plan...
Aspirin reduces inflammation. Your tooth will stay impacted until you have it removed. You need to use punctuation.
The longer you wait and the older you are, the worse the wisdom teeth can impact you. (according to my oral surgeon)
I let my wisdom teeth go impacted for 4-5 years before I had all 4 extracted just a week ago and I'm having a lot of issues with it.
It's been 9 days and I'm still in a lot of pain and now I have an infection on my lower left side.
I would save up the money and do it as soon as you can.
See if you can at least get on a course of antibiotics and take Ibuprofen to help relieve the pain/swelling.

rinse your mouth out with warm salt water 4 or 5 times a day. see if you can set up a payment plan with an oral surg. you need to get that out b 4 it gets infected. some one surly will help u and let u make payments. they have a Hippocratic oath they take when they b come dentists
I just had the same experience. My cousin is a dentist but lives abroad. Best thing to do is mix salt with a bit of water and rinse your mouth few times with it. That will work as a disinfectant. It works.
