Help on errupting wisdom tooth!?!
Question: earlier today my child started complaining of a toothache and then had swollen gums coming right up and over the top of other tooth. it's the wisdom tooth that has yet to be removed. has trouble biting down and difficulty eating. it happened in just hours and by the time it got that way it was too late to take to dentist/oral surgeon. now we have to go through this the whole weekend. Tylenol and rinsing with salt water is what we are working with. does anyone know of anything else we can do to aleviate it temporarily?

buy some oja-gel..the kind you used when your child was a baby for teething and rub it in the area that is sore..it works wonders
