Question 1

what can cause wisdom tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

A few thoughts...: A cavity, an infection, pressure from eruption. Have a local dentist take a look.

Question 2

how can i control wisdom tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

Wisdom tooth pain: Start by seeing a dentist to determine whether or not the wisdom tooth should remain or be removed. 
There are so many scenarios here that one cannot give you a simple all inclusive answer.

Question 3

does wisdom tooth pain usually subside?

Accepted Answer

More info needed: What is the pain due to? Extraction? Filling? Eruption? Cavity? Without this info no correct answer can be given. See a local dentist for either treatment or follow up care on treatment that has already been provided.

Question 4

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 5

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.

Question 6

i am having a severe wisdom tooth pain. please suggest me pain killer for it.?

Accepted Answer

Wisdom teeth: Best treatment is extraction and untill then use NSAID measn something like Aleve (naproxen) or ibuprofen, and you need to check with dentist as it may be impacted or caried!

Question 7

is there an easy fix for impacted wisdom tooth pain? i have to wait till the 21st for a consultation.

Accepted Answer

See your dentist: If swollen or painful, on emergency basis to rule out infection. Consultation to determine strategy needed for their removal will not be the time to address infection. The dentist can show you ways to clean the swollen tissues and provide rx for pain control.

Question 8

i am having bottom back tooth pain. i can't bite down or touch the tooth. it came out of no where. i am thinking wisdom tooth. is this an emergency?

Accepted Answer

If pain see your den: If you are in pain where you can not touch tongue, then there is a cause worth investigating. Good luck

Question 9

what pain killers are best for wisdom tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

Anti inflamitories: Typically, post operative extraction pain is from inflammation from the trauma of the extraction and the healing of the site.   Best medications for this kind of pain are like Motrin (ibuprofen).  For more severe pain,  your dentist can prescribe you narcotic pain medications like vicodan

Question 10

i feel wisdom tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

Wisdom teeth?: If you still have your wisdom teeth at your age, i would get them evaluated by a dentist. If impacted, they may be affecting your other teeth or causing  a localized inflammation like a cyst or growth.  If missing, there could be a phantom pain but more likely a referred pain, muscular, neurologic, or inflammatory.  See dentist to discover the source.  Good luck.
