Wisdom Tooth Pain: The best and quickest way to get relief is to see an Oral Surgeon asap and confirm that the tooth needs to be removed and then if that's the case have it removed. If money is an issue get a list of Oral Surgeons who are on that plan. The only thing you can do in the meantime is rinse with warm salt water and take OTC pain medication (6oomg Advil & 300 mg Tylenol) if you can take those medications.

Tooth pain: Sorry you're in pain. The tooth will probably require treatment to resolve the issue. Best to see an Oral Surgeon to confirm diagnose and provide appropriate treatment. Oral Surgeon's office can tell you if they accept your insurance. In the mean time OTC Ibuprofen asper package directions. Rinsing w 1 tsp salt in 8 oz warm water may help.
