Question:

My last wisdom tooth just came in and I think it's infected. Painful, swollen, puss. No insurance. Help !?

My other 3 wisdom teeth came in ok. A dentist told me they would have to be removed, but since then I've lost my health insurance. This last tooth just broke through and now that whole area is swollen and painful. When I press, puss is coming out. I used to have the best teeth! Not a single cavity until I turned 23! I brush and floss a ton! I've been swishing mouthwash a few times a day since the pain started. Is there anything I can do to make this go away? or am I going to have to take out a loan to see a dentist? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!


Answers:

Wow, sorry, I totally feel your pain.
Try using h2o2 (hydrogen peroxide) to swish with, it helps with the infection.
Also take Advil until you can get into see the dentist.
Sorry, but that small loan may be necessary!!
Good luck!!!!
