Question 1

my left wisdom tooth is coming out and it hurts so bad, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Seek consult: Seek opinion fro a general dentist or oral surgeon. Might be normal or abnormal eruption.

Question 2

my upper wisdom tooth is coming in and it hurts, but it also is wiggly.

Accepted Answer

Ok: You're teething. Can't quantify how much it hurts or if OTC pain meds are helping manage the pain or if you need the tooth extracted. Call a local dentist for an appointment if the problem persists.

Question 3

i've got a wisdom tooth coming in and it hurts really bad to bite down/swallow. what can i do to help the pain?

Accepted Answer

Three things:: Take some otc pain medication, rinse with warm salt water and most importantly see your dentist as soon as possible to determine whether or not you have an infection and if that tooth needs to be removed.

Question 4

i'm growing my wisdom tooth and it hurts a little when i'm eating?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation needed: It is common for erupting wisdom teeth to be sore.  If there is still a flap of tissue over the tooth it is easy to trap food and get an infection. It is time that you see your dentist  to the the wisdom evaluated for extraction.  Extractions are much easier now at your age than if you wait.  Talk to your parents about scheduling an appointment.

Question 5

what to do if i'm getting my left wisdom tooth and it hurts so bad?

Accepted Answer

Consultation: Consult with a local dentist about possible removal. Most people don't have enough room in their mouths for their wisdom teeth.

Question 6

2 days ago i got  my wisdom tooth out.  to day it start  to blead bad   it hurts  a lot more  now  can soone tell what it could  be please?

Accepted Answer

Use gauze: Use the guaze you were given and keep changing it .  If bleeding will not stop, try wrapping one piece of gauze around a regular tea bag and place that over the bleeding site and bite down.   Call your dentist office.  If the bleeding is pouring out of your mouth you should be having someone drive to their office or the emergency room.

Question 7

should i have a wisdom tooth removed if it hurts a lot and is diffifult to clean?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Having a wisdom tooth removed because it hurts and is difficult to clean is a good idea.  Leaving it not only will continue pain, but if you can't keep it properly clean then it can potentially result in periodontal/bone loss in the tooth in front of it or even decay.

Question 8

how bad is getting your wisdom tooth pulled out? i know i'm getting two from the back pulled out and wanted to know if it hurts during the process?

Accepted Answer

No pain: There may be soreness afterward, but with adequate anesthesia you should have no pain during the procedure.  You will feel pressure and hear some sounds.
Often, the dentist or oral surgeon will recommend sedation so you can relax during the procedure which will make it easier for both you and the doctor.

Question 9

i have a bad rotting impacted wisdom tooth, can't afford an extraction, and it hurts randomly, what can i do to pull it?

Accepted Answer

Finance your care: Be seen at a dental school or hospital residency program, and contact your local dental society for guidance. You can forget about removing your own rotting impacted wisdom tooth... it takes years of experience to even attempt it.

Question 10

i had my wisdom tooth extracted about 10days ago but theres food stuck on the back on my bottom tooth together with my stitch and i cant seem to remove it. when i try to remove it, it hurts. should i leave it ?

Accepted Answer

: Use a salt water mouth rinse and get in to see your dentist and have him check the area.  Don't pull at the stiches.
