Ouch! My wisdom tooth is coming in, does anyone have any suggestions to stop the throbbing?

Question

My wisdom tooth on my left side has been trying to come through for years. It's finally made some progress, but it won't stop throbbing! I can hardly talk or eat. I feel like it's poking though to my cheek. Is there any way I can help it along? Is this a sure sign that it will need to be pulled? Can I prevent it from being pulled somehow? What can I do for the throbbing? Any suggestions are greatly aprreciated! Thank you.

Answer 1

Something you can do to help the pain is to do warm salt water rinses. And make sure that you floss back there to make sure there is no food impactation. That will help some of the puffy gums. The really only way to tell if they need pulled out is to go to your dentist and they will have to take some xrays of it to see how it is coming in and how it will affect some of the other teeth. You can also ask for some medication to help with the pain.

I just asked my mom adn she said that when her wisdom teeth were coming in that she used salt watter adn drank 3 glasses of ti a day and tha thelped the throbbing and she also said that you should eat foods like ice cream and popsicles because ti will keep the tooth cold and you might be able to numb it also you can go to the store and buy numbing stuff to rub on the area it might not taste so good at first but it's not orrible jsut rub it on there and it will take way any feeling around that area just be careful tha tyou only get it on the gums and you dont put anyon the cheek otherwise you know what'll ahpen!!

Eat a soft diet and take some Advil for the pain.

i think you just need to relax a bit more. my wisdom teeth are coming in too, and it doesnt hurt that much. at home, use some ice to help numb the pain (ice packs).
