Might i go to the hospital for a wisdom tooth problem?

Only if Emergency: - which can described as a large abscess/facial swelling, causing fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, pain on swallowing, difficulty breathing, inability to open mouth, excruciating pain. No treatment will be rendered in the ed (unless emergency as described). They will just prescribe pain medicine & an antibiotic. Best to see an oral surgeon during normal office hours rather than mis-utilze ed.

Oral surgeon: The best doc to evaluate and treat wisdom teeth is an oral surgeon.

Yes: Best to see your Oral Surgeon, but it is OK to go to the ER if you are in dire need. The major hospitals typically have an Oral Surgery component and on call residents. Not sure where closest is near Wyckoff. Call ahead to see if they have one. Good Luck.

Counterproductive: You can go to the emergency room for any medical problem 24/7, but ER is not designed for the dental care that you need. You are better off contacting a local emergency dentist or OS for an evaluation and treatment.
