Wisdom teeth pain extraction at least a week away?!
Question:
Wisdom teeth pain extraction at least a week away?
My wisdom teeth are causing me a great deal of pain on one side of my mouth. I have already spoken to a dentist, but I need a referral first. I have the exam/referral scheduled for Tuesday, and then who knows how long til they are actually pulled. One of them has a cavity because it was covered by gum for so long and I couldn't get to the tooth to brush it. The other one on that side is coming in and is causing pain. Orajel only dulls the pain for maybe 10 minutes and 2 tablets of extra strength Tylenol only helps for about an hour. What can I do? It keeps me up at night. I finally get to sleep, but when my 10 month old wakes up, after he is taken care of, it takes me a long time to get back to sleep again because of the pain. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Wow, you must be tired. Use 'Motrin' its great and recommended for inflammation anywhere in the body. The dentist can give you a higher dose then otc. Mine gave me 500mg script, when my wisdom teeth were a problem. Best to have some food or milk with that much, ok. I feel for ya, its one of the worst pains.
