Hi
Get some ice cubes and place on the inflamed area, take some pain Relief and try to numb the area with the ice until the medication starts working, keep up the pain relief every four hours and get some sleep, have a friend on stand by to call the dentist as soon as they open so you get in. Good luck



ok if you can take paracetamol and ibuprofen then you can take both together (completely safe)
take 2x paracetamol 500mg, wait 2 hrs take 2X200mg ibuprofen, 2 hrs paracetamol, 2 hrs ibuprofen. keep up this regime but dont go over the recommended daily dose for either

For release of the wisdom teeth warm salty water will help keep infection at bay chlorhexidine mouthwash also helps, keep brushing the area and try using interdental small (bottle) brushes around it as this will release any food or pus building up. Some people find hot or cold packs help.

if you get pain out of hours and its too severe to wait but u live in the uk you can call NHS 24
