My bottom right wisdom tooth is growing in crooked feels like it's pushing into my cheek, causing pain on that side. i've already made an appointment with an oral surgeon, but that's just the consult. what can i do until then to prevent infection?

keep area clean ,brush with soft brush and rinse with hydrogen peroxide and water mix three times a day. if face not swollen than you have no infection, if swelling occurs than call in for a antibiotic prescription.

Infection is not likely, but the oral surgeon with whom you have an appointment can better address this issue.
