Two of my wisdom teeth are coming in, both on the left side (top and bottom). It hurts pretty bad and is a little swollen too. I've got just a little bit of tooth begining to show on both the top and bottom. But it's a pain in the @ss having to deal with this at work and in school. Is there anything I can do for the pain?!

Take Bayer, or get them pulled. Personally I recomend getting them pulled if you can......I know that when mine came in they would constantly break the skin a little bit, and then get covered back up again. It meant that I had to deal with the pain off and on again for a few months. Whether you get them pulled or not, I hope you feel better!!

Honestly, Kelly V is right, go to your dentist, and have them take a "Look, see" I went to the dentist about 3 months ago, and I found out that my wisdom teeth were SEVERELY impacted which caused a LOT of pain. My wisdom teeth were shaped like "L"s on the side! (Ouch) So, in the mean time, take some Ibuprofen, probably 3 or 4 depending on how much pain you're in. MAKE SURE YOU GO TO THE DENTIST!!
Good luck and cheers ^_^

You can probably take an ibuprofin for the pain. But, you should also schedule an appt with a dentist. The chances of your wisdom teeth coming in perfectly are slim to none. I don't know anyone who had their wisdom teeth come in perfectly. A lot of the times they come up in an angle--pushing the other molars over and causing even more pain and shifting, or even sideways. They may need to be extracted. If you have had braces recently, you can visit your orthodontist....he or she can send you straight to the oral surgeon.

I'd talk to an oral surgeon about getting them removed. I had to have mine removed. The actual surgery was not bad, for me, at least as they knocked me out with IV sedation, nitrous oxide and novacaine. And after the surgery I didn't have a whole lot of pain, it only hurt when I tried to eat solid food to soon. I was given a perscription for pain meds to take at home. But for right now, you may want to try some ibprofin or motrin and some oral numbing gel.

Ahh! I had such a horrible experience when my wisdom teeth came in. It hurt like hell to eat, and I had a hard time opening and closing my mouth all the way without the confounded pain.
Aspirin didn't help much, especially when I still had to eat. The sooner you get them pulled, the better (it's painless to have them pulled, trust me, I was awake the entire time and I didn't feel a thing).

I couldn't eat anything but soup for about two weeks when mine first started to come in. When the second round started I went and had them pulled. I have found that Goody Powders work very well for tooth pain. You can find them next to the aspirins. They tast aweful but they work very well.

Go to the dentist ans have them removed. They move in and out for awhile and are very painful. Its better to just have them removed then to endure the pain you will have for a very long time

Ibprophen is about it. And really REALLY consider having them removed - I did and I suffered in misery everyday until I finally gave in and had them pulled...24 hours later I realized that it was the BEST decision I ever made.
I'm sorry youre hurting!

Yea, sounds like its time to go see the dentist. He'll probably suggest having them pulled. Ive had it done and had no problems or pain.
