For a while Ive had some jaw pain on the top & bottom jaws, Mostly my bottom lower left jaw. I knew it was a wisdom tooth and a cracked tooth i had so I had them removed, and soon after the pain in that area went away. Now my top jaws hurt, I know its my wisdom teeth. My gums & the middle of my teeth hurt & I get ear pain.
Last night I had a pain on the side of my right eye (over the bone) I even woke up in the middle of the night because the pain on my right jaw with the migraine was too much. The only way to get lessen the pain was excedrin and a heating pad. I was told by the dentist that all my wisdom teeth were impacted, but right now I dont have the 600 to pull them out. My question is:
Is there any effective way to lessen the pain? I heard it could be teeth grinding while I sleep (i wake up w/ jaw pain too) & was thinking of getting a mouth guard at walmart for the time being but am strapped for money (does it work?)
I dont want a heating pad attached to my face 24/7 lol
