Wisdom teeth issues...?!


Question:

Wisdom teeth issues...?

Okay - I have a serious problem, I think. Last year, while I was on my guardians insurance, I was supposed to have all of my wisdom teeth pulle (my teeth are severely cramped, and there is no room for the extra teeth). They wanted to pull them while they were still soft - but, it never happened. My guardians decided they didn't want to pay for it. Since then, I've moved out. Now, I have two coming in on the left side, top and bottom. The top one seems okay for now, but the bottom has been awful. Every now and then it swells up, like it's infected, until I push out the infection. During this, it seems like it's pulling my gums away from my molar. Also, it appears that there is a bad cavity on it, because it is barely through the gums and I cannot brush it well. I know I need to see a dentist, but I don't have insurance right now. Is there somthing I can do to make the pain lessen?? Anbesol doesn't seem to work very well....Also - is there some other reason this may be happening..?


Answers:

I had supernumerous wisdom teeth. One coming in on top of the other. So did my daughter. I suggest you find an oral surgeon and work out a payment plan. Not doing it could actually kill you from infection. There's nothing you can do about the pain and it will get a lot worse.
