I have a wisdom tooth coming in and it really hurts bad ..what should i do?

dude goto a dentist i suffered for 3 days with one and went to the dentist(who is amazing and I will never go to another) it was painless and took about 15 min. for them to pull it i was so pissed i let myself suffer for so long.

You mean pull it out ? no way ...lol it might be important to have .

Wow, you have a Wisdom tooth coming in...?


How old are you? I had mine come in in teen years.. then I had them extracted...

Do you have any Valerian root in the house? Valerian root has always helped me with pain.
Also, take Mega-doses of Vit.C with citrus Bioflavinoids,
It´s a great natural anti-inflammatory and also has an affinity for the gums...


Feel better !

Get all of your wisdom teeth extracted. They really are superfluous.

lol..im 38 years old ...i once had two wisdom teeth pulled believe it or not because of a broken jaw i had. got into a little fight...lol They couldnt fix the jaw without pulling the teeth. But this tooth is on the other side.

Dr. try some clove oil. Make sure it is the pure stuff from like a health food or organic food store.

if you cant afford a dentist right now, go to an herb store and get some echinacea root. Not the extract, the raw root. Put this between the cheeck and gum near the affected tooth. It wil serve a dual purpose...1) numb the area, 2 help fight bacterial infection. Its a native american remedy, but its only a temp fix. Save some douh, and if you cant afford the 1500 for a root canal, pay the 180 and get it pulled.

BD, Valerian root? Ha!! I tried that for a bit as a sleep aid, and all it did was make me sleepy the next day...but then I wasnt in pain so I dunno of its effects as a pain remedy.

By the sound of it, Dr. Strange doesn´t require a root canal. Extraction is in order, or a lot of pain, from what I´ve been told, in his near future.

i thought wisdom teeth coming in was just normal and nature ? I have never been to a dentist in my life...never needed to ..i have really good teeth....a wisdom tooth coming in is not a bad thing ..its just a thing that happens. Its ok folks i have a high threshold of pain ....for myself that is. I believe in mind over matter. What did ancient man do for so many years before dentist with wisdom teeth ?

What is the ambisol stuff they sell in drug stores ? Does that work ?

What is a root canal anyways ..i dont like the sound of that ..lol

extraction man its the only answer. its dangeroius man it can kill you if you keep it in your brain is right there get it out fast. technology has gone a long way destins are painless if you got a good one find out where the rich people go. shell out an extra 100 bux and you wont have to worry about infection. make sure its not some cheapo dentist. but get it pulled man.

NO, DON´T GET A ROOT CANAL !


They are actually bad for you...


You have never been to a dentist..? GOD BLESS YOU !!


I wish my parents had never sent me to that psychopath when i was a kid...he filled just about every single one of my teeth with mercury amalgam...





and btw, anbisol should do the trick as far as numbing pain...

Dr., clove oil is MUCH more effective than that over the counter crap they sell in drug stores. I know from experience.

A root canal basically takes the root out of your decayed tooth and then replaces it with a fake tooth where your decayed tooth formerly was. Since your problem is not a decayed tooth but rather a case of a new tooth emerging that you don´t need to chew, etc., extraction is your best solution.

Whiskey or brandy was used to numb teething children at one point as well. Just rub the alcohol onto the sore area.

ahhhh now i see....ok i was a little in the dark about these dentist terms. Actually i think im getting a handle on the pain now. Its weird because it just started late tonight. hhhmm

Thanks for the input people ...you have been a great help...peace be with you all.

Please read the following links and then go see a dentist to see if it needs to be removed. Impacted wisdom teeth can be extremely painful and very dangerous and if they need to be removed, there aren´t any alternatives. Treating only the pain will just let it get much worse. If you don´t think you can afford it, ask the dentist about paying over time or ask him and your doctor and your friends about lower cost dental services. Sometimes public healthcare will cover it and sometimes you can have it done at minimal cost at a dental college by a student dentist. But regardless you really *have* to have it checked by a dentist and explore your options. The longer you delay the worse and more expensive it´s going to be.

Dr Strange,
It would be WISE to get it checked out by a dentist.

Sometimes the pain can be caused by an infection under the tooth. If untreated this can be very dangerous, as the infection can travel via the bloodstream, directly to the heart. I´m serious.

What is an Impacted Wisdom Tooth ?

A tooth becomes impacted due to lack of space in the dental arch and its eruption is therefore prevented by gum, bone, another tooth or all three. Lack of space occurs because our jaws have become smaller (through evolution), we do not loose teeth through decay as frequently as in the past, and our diet is such that our teeth do not wear down as much.

What are the Indications for Removing Wisdom Teeth ?

Wisdom teeth generally cause problems when they erupt partially through the gum. The most common reasons for removing them are:

Decay

Saliva, bacteria and food particles can collect around an impacted wisdom tooth, causing it, or the next tooth to decay. It is very difficult to remove such decay. Pain and infection will usually follow.

Gum Infection (Pericoronitis)

When a wisdom tooth is partially erupted, food and bacteria collect under the gum causing a local infection. This may result in bad breath, pain, swelling and trismus (inability to open the mouth fully). The infection can spread to involve the cheek and neck. Once the initial episode occurs, each subsequent attack becomes more frequent and more severe.

Pressure Pain

Pain may also come from the pressure of the erupting wisdom tooth against other teeth. In some cases this pressure may cause the erosion of these teeth.
