See a Dentist: Nsaids - available over the counter. A dentist may prescribe something stronger. Arnica is a holistic alternative. Please see a dentist, after viewing your wisdom teeth on an x-ray they will see if the cause of your pain is impaction, decay or a gum issue. Self medicating only masks the symptoms. With a proper diagnosis you can make a good decision. Extraction, filling, gum treatment, etc.

Wisdom Tooth Pain: Any over the counter pain med like Motrin can help you until you can see a dentist. If you are having pain from your wisdom teeth is because there is a problem and you may need them extracted. Pericoronitis is the most common infection associated with an erupting wisdom tooth. See a dentist right away!

Tooth pain: Pain may be from infected toot, impacted tooth with damage to adjacent teeth/bone/gums, or inflamed gum tissues. Until you can get to an Oral Surgeon to determine the c cause and provide the appropriate treatment for evaluation keep the area clean and take Ibuprofen/Motrin/Advil exactly as per package directions. Do not exceed printed dosage.
