I have already taken the penicillin for the infection, but I think they might be getting infected again. Is there anything I can do until I can get to the dentist(My husband is a OTR truck driver and will not be home for a least another week and I have no one to watch my infant son). I have already talked to the dentist and they say that the only thing to do is just pull them. Thanks!

I used to have tooth aches all the time and what helped me the most is rinse with Listerene and keep it in your mouth as long as you can stand it it will kill the germs in the tooth that is causing the pain....You can do this every hour or so till the pain stops...
At least this worked for me..
Another thing you can rinse with to kill the germs is peroxide...That works too and its really cheap....Good luck

Have a friend drive you to and from the oral surgeons office to have the procedure done. You will be up and around the same day. You will have to take pain pills and eat soft foods for a few days afterward but no reason you wont be able to care for your baby as long as you have someone to be there while the procedure is being done.

Wisdom teeth can be very dangerous, u need an xray immediately, they could even be under your jawbone which will require an oral surgeon to cut them out.
Put a teabag where they hurt for right now, Ice bottle may help with the swelling.Motrin may help alot

my sister had hers pulled and it did not swell she was just tired. She was told to drink pineapple just before and she drank like 2 gal in three days. it did keep the swellling down but she slept for a few days.
keep taking the penicillin and see if they can give a littlle large dose.
use warm salt water as a rinse to help keep them clean, that helps sore throats

Wisdom teeth are third molars.They are
useful especially if you have lost teeth in
the mouth.However,when they are impacted,
they can be painful and may need to be
removed. I found the information
at http://aches.in/wisdomteeth.html useful
