Wisdom teeth

[JayEm1]

my wisdom teeth are coming through and ive got the worse tooth ache ever

apart from paracetamol and going to the dentist is there any other ways of getting rid of it?

the whole side of my face is throbbing and i cant seem to shake it for more than an hour (with pills btw)

      The area is probably infected. You need a course of antibiotics. See your dentist asap.

I dont think its infected, im 21 years old and im at the age where they start coming through (correct me if im wrong)

just need something to ease the pain a little, cant take anymore paracetamol.. ill probably OD so thats out the window

I think Stu is right, sounds like an infection.

   Yes, you are correct age [18-22] . However if this is a lower tooth it may be impacted i.e. not enough room to erupt. See your dentist.

Ditto above about see your dentist.  In the meantime, try Anbesol to numb the pain (or shredded clove - tastes like shite though).

Anbesol is a yellowish liquid that you dab over the gum and tooth with your finger. Better than bonjela).  You can get it from Boots or any Chemist.

Forgot to say - you can also get it from major supermarkets that have a pharmacy  (some may even sell if off the shelf, so you should be able to get it from there).

Hope you feeling a bit better

   If tooth giving pain is 2nd. from back, it is unlikely to be wisdom tooth, unless pain is referred. See your dentist. good luck.

I am nearly 30 and I have a back wisdom tooth coming through at the moment.  Last week I visited my kinder egg certified dentist and he confirmed my suspicions that it was a wisdom tooth. He said that he has seen them coming through in people older than me. The dude aint very good to be honest so I am not 100% sure if he is correct. There is a shortage of good dentists where I stay unfortunately. This is probably the case everywhere I guess.

My dentist told me to rise my mouth with diluted tcp to numb the painfull area and come back in a few weeks if it didn't fix itself.
