Answers:
Is the wisdom tooth impacted!? If not, any dentist can extract it for you if it's an emergency!. Just keep calling until you find a dentist who will do it for you!.

Advil or anything with ibuprofen is good to take!. You can also try warm salt water rinses to quell the swelling!. Take a tablespoon or more of salt, mix with cup of warm water and rinse your mouth with it!. The salt will draw water from the wound!.

I am not aware of any repercussions of taking ibuprofen when breast feeding!. I've been in dentistry for 3 years now and I've never heard any dentist or otherwise say no to ibuprofen while breastfeeding!.

Watch what you eat!. Don't eat any sweets or anything that can exacerbate an already painful condition!. Eat soups and soft simple foods like bread and oatmeal!. Drink soymilk, calcium is good for teeth and bones!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I dont think you should be taking Ibuprofen when breast feeding, as far as im aware plain paracetamol is the only thing you can take when pregnant or breast feeding!.

sleep with an extra pillow sometimes being a bit more propped up will ease the pain

You need to contact your dentist, if you are registered then they should provide you with emergency careWww@Answer-Health@Com
