I am having severe pain in wisdom tooth growing in...any advice?!


Question: I am having severe pain in wisdom tooth growing in!.!.!.any advice!?
Just recently my left side of my teeth started hurting and I saw the same lumps in my gums that I did when my right wisdom teeth came in; I assume my wisdom tooth is about to break through the gum!.

The pain went from mild to severe!. I tried to wait it out but 3 days ago my gum swelled up, and has been continuing to hurt more and more, I see a tiny speck where my tooth is going to break through but my entire lower left jaw is swollen (inside and on the outside) and getting worse!. I cant eat, sleep, and now!.!.!.I cant shut my teeth together without sharp pain over the entire area!. When I look close with a light, I see indentions where my top molers have been pressing into the swollen area!. I am going to Dr!. but its not for 3 days!. Does anyone know what this sounds like, or what procedure may be used, and will they offer pain medicine!? I've been taking about 8-10 ibuprofins a day and they arent helping much!.!.!.!.and I want to eat and sleep again!. I'm sure they'll extract the problem!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Try to rinse your mouth with Listerine for as long as you can!. You might have to tilt your head to the side that is hurting for a few extra seconds to let the Listerine soak into that area a bit longer!. My husband swears it helps relieve the pain long enough for you to get to sleep!. He also said doing the same with Whiskey will numb it for a little while!. If Ibuprofen isnt working see if you can get your hands on something stronger!. And yes if its infected that can spread into your brain, not to freak you out but it is serious business and you need to make sure you get to your appointment asap!!!! Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

u probably have an infection and should go to ur dentist and get antiboitics!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

this definetly sounds liek wisdom teeth cos ive just had one recently come thru and it killed!! i had all the same problems n pains tht youve described n wen i went to he dentist he sed it was that!. if the pain starts right back in your jaw then its definatly yur wisdom teeth too!.

to stop the pain clove oil helps but you shud dfinatly see a dentist as wisdom teeth can b dangerous and sometimes need to b removed!.

Gargle warm salt water,you can also use orajel for the pain as well as advil!. If you think it may be infected,you can try raw garlic cloves on the area whenever you need to!. If you feel a slight burn for the first few seconds,its working!.!.I did this for my wisdom tooth problem and it really works!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
