I went to the dentist today and they filled a cavity where I have been experiencing this pain. I think it might be my Wisdom tooth, but the dentist thought I was to young to be getting them (I'm 17). I've been taking advil but it still hurts, any suggestions?

HI VINCE
WELL FYI WISDOM TEETH, OR THIRD MOLARS, SOMETIMES BEGIN TO FORM AT ANY AGE BETWEEN 17-24. IT MAY BE A WISDOM TOOTH, BUT MORE PROBABLE IS THAT THE FILLING IS TOO HIGH. A QUICK ADJUSTMENT BY YOUR DENTIST WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS.

It's probably your wisdom tooth. You can get them between ages 17- 21. Try putting coten around it, I've done it before. just makes a little padding for it.
