Question 8

is wisdom tooth pain connected with anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Not directly, but...: Anxiety does not directly produce tooth pain. However, people often clench and grind their teeth which in turn can cause teeth to become sore to pressure and sometimes also more sensitive to cold. That's true of all teeth effected, not just wisdom teeth. If you have pain, see a dentist to determine the cause and offer appropriate treatment.

Question 9

how should i ease wisdom tooth pain with just otc meds?

Accepted Answer

Ibuprofen: In my experience, the non-steroidal anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen, Naproxen and such tend to do well for dental or bone pain.  If this in standard dose and using all precautions for your own individual health, conditions, allergies, GI considerations, etc doesn't help you, then get seen by your dentist or oral surgeon. Infections have to be treated and you may need other treatment or care.
