Wisdom teeth: Hi, If you are having pain to the point where you aren't sleeping, you need to see your dentist/oral surgeon as soon as possible. Are your wisdoms impacted or have the descended fully? There may be another reason why you are having such severe pain. Please be careful with how much anti-inflammatory medication you are taking as too much can also be harmful. Hope you feel better soon

Wisdom teeth: Your recurring issue should have been addressed before this. Please see an Oral Surgeon for appropriate treatment. Be carful not to take any medication other than as prescribed. Every 2 hours exceeds recommended dosage. Call Oral Surgeon.
