Is there an easy fix for impacted wisdom tooth pain? i have to wait till the 21st for a consultation.

See your dentist: If swollen or painful, on emergency basis to rule out infection. Consultation to determine strategy needed for their removal will not be the time to address infection. The dentist can show you ways to clean the swollen tissues and provide rx for pain control.

Wisdom teeth: Try warm salt water, 1tsp salt to 8oz cup warm water, for one min. Several times a day, keep the area clean . And see a dentist for an xray, sometimes it can be an infection or another tooth and it feels like the wisdom tooth (called referred pain) don't wait.

Too Long: You should be seen within 3 days. Call optional dentist to be scheduled. In the interim, take 1-aspirin + 1-tylenol together every 4-6 hours as needed.

Call around: Call other offices and you should be able to get into an office for the next 1-2 days. Check the listing of doctors on your insurance and call. Good luck.

Medication: Sounds like you've seen your dentist who referred you to oral surgeon. Antibiotics and narcotic pain meds can be prescribed by your dentist to tide you over till the oral surgery evaluation.
