A member asked:

Ask your dentist: When you had x-rays taken of your wisdom teeth, were you having symptoms associated with the lower right area? Pain with eating and drinking suggests a problem that needs immediate attention. If your problem is related to a wisdom tooth or another dental problem in that area, your dentist should address the problem or refer you to a specialist for treatment.

X-rays: X-rays are diagnostic tools, 2dimensional representations of 3 dimensional objects. They don't treat anything, just gives the doctor a different look. Call your Dentist, request Rx or referral to Specialist for Rx. No need to suffer, call now.

Meds./ extraction: Your dentist would've prescribed the proper antibiotic to treat the infection, then extraction of the wisdom tooth would be considered specially if it's impacted..
