I had the same thing... all 4 at once and no insurance!!!! But if you dont get them extracted, they will get worse, and you wont be able to eat, and you can get an infection... Infection can lead to death!!! Go get it taken care of! Right away... it cost me over 1,000 dollars because mine we impacted! but it was worth it, cause I love food, and I am healthy and i have no pain now!

I am so sorry for your pain.... I know it is painful. If you are able to take an ibuprofen product (advil, motrin, etc.), try that. Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory as well as pain reliever. Additionally, you can use anbesol on the area. At the drugstore, you can find it in either the dental or the baby section. Just a small amount will numb the area. I don't suggest using it long term, but since you are going to the DDS tomorrow, using it tonight should be okay. One last thing, the oldest home remedy ever, warm salt-water rinses. Salt water is very soothing and has natural healing qualities. You can also mix a little bit of hydrogen peroxide in with the saltwater....if the tooth is part of the way in and food/bacteria has built up under the gum that is still over the tooth, you may have a condition called pericoronitis. It gets very red, swollen and is painful. The peroxide will help "bubble out" the bacteria and will not harm you as long as you don't swallow it. A WORD OF PRECAUTION: DON'T DO THIS AFTER YOU HAVE THE TOOTH REMOVED. (The peroxide).... I hope you feel better soon. Sadly, the tooth will probably need to come out and that is not pleasant, either. If I were you, I would have the DDS take a panoramic film to see if any other wisdom teeth are getting ready to poke through. If so, have them all taken out at once and get it over with!! My thoughts and prayers will be with you!

Sometimes warm salt water gargling works temporarily. You might also try an over the counter numbing medication. The truth is you should get a dentist to examine the tooth and pay for the treatment.

go to your dentist as soon as possible. he'll do a dental x-ray so he'll know what to do about it. the bigger the wisdom tooth gets, the more difficult it is to take out. the pain and discomfort brought by a bothersome wisdom tooth is not worth anything. have it taken out as soon as posible.

It sounds like it's going to have to be removed. It hurts like crazy while it's being done, but in the long run, it's better for you.

you are going to have to go to a dentist or an oral surgeon... no way around it unless you want to pull it yourself (don't I am kidding) try otc pain relief meds until then Good Luck!

ITS NOT GONNA STOP HURTING IF THEY ARE IMPACTED AND IT CAN CAUSE CAVITIES AND ROT THE TEETH THAT IT IS NEXT TO. IF YOU GOTTA GET THEM TAKEN OUT, I RECOMMEND ALL OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME, THAT'S WHAT I DID --JUST TO GET IT OVER WITH.

The only way to stop the pain permanently is to get it taken out.

Try taking Ibuprofen, it may help some, but you need to get them out.
