What are my options with my teeth causing so much pain?

Question

Ok this is my deal my upper molars were pulled when I was younger and now the wisdom teeth have come into the spot the molars were. Both wisdom teeth are now cracked and broken and hurt badly. On top of that I have a huge cavity in another tooth and basically the pain can shoot all over the top of my mouth. Once one area stops the next will pick up. I have no dental insurance and desperately need this taken care of as I cant stand the pain this is causing anymore... Please Help!!!

Answer 1

You need to address these problems and most likely have extractions (teeth out) if they are as damaged as you say. Find a local dental school that you can be treated at, or a dental clinic that charges you based on your income (sliding scale). Or try to get Care Credit, look on the American Dental Association site for info.

Hope that helps

I had that same issue, my mouth is so small there was no way the wisdom teeth could come in. Mine were all impacted and I also got pain. I could barely eat but then I got an appointment and had them removed about 2 weeks ago. I feel so much better now and back to normal. My insurance completely covered everything. Ask your parent or Guardian about making an appt. The sooner you get them out the easier it is. Good Luck and God bless you!

Answer 3

The only treatment is to have your wisdom teeth removed through surgery. Only ever go to an oral & maxillofacial surgeon to have your wisdom teeth out. To find out more go to http://www.oceansurgical.com.au/postoperativecare.html

Answer 4

apply for care credit I did because I had no dental insurance and they gave me credit so I could go fix my tooth right away

Answer 5

EXTRACT THE PAINFUL/CRACKED ONES AND LOOK INTO POSSIBLE PARTIAL/FULL DENTURES.
