OTC Pain Meds: You can take OTC pain meds, which may help a very little bit for a short time. Now make the visit to the oral surgeon the most important thing for you to do, and do it. The pain will soon become unbearable.

See a dentist ASAP: When wisdom teeth cause problems, they need to come out. If you are experiencing pain, swollen gums, lymph nodes and it does not go away or if you find it difficult to open your mouth, you should see a dentist for evaluation, x-ray and wisdom teeth removal.
