OTC and DDS: You will need to see your dentist in order to determine whether or not the tooth needs to be removed. Actually, it may be an adjacent tooth that in fact is causing the problem. Only a dentist after an examination and an x-ray or two can determine the cause of your pain. In the meantime, take some advil, motrin, aleve (naproxen) or what you would normally take for a headache. Salt water rinses may also help.

See a dentist: The only thing that you can do is to, see a dentist and find out exactly what is going on, if there is an infection and if the wisdom tooth needs to come out. In the meantime ibuprophen, ice, and salt water ri ses will help until you see a dentist.

See a dentist: Your wisdom teeth hurt because there is the start of an infection or it could because they are starting to come in. Because most people do not have room in their mouth for the wisdom teeth they need them removed. They can cause significant damage to your other teeth and surrounding bone structure so i suggest you see your dentist and hopefully they should send you to an oral surgeon.

Visit your dentist: Sometimes wisdom teeth are valuable asset when healthy and properly aligned, but more often, they are misaligned and require removal. The removal of wisdom teeth is one of the most common procedures at ages 15-25. See your dentist for evaluation and x-rays.
