Hey everyone, this is my first time here.
I have an impacted lower wisdom tooth.
The x-rays showed that there are going
sideways and hitting on the other teeth.
I feel incredible pressure pain for the
past few days and I have to wait till next
week tuesday jan 25 for removing them. My
question is is there any temporary relief
on this and I am also afraid if waiting
for a week of this pain would cause damage
to other teeth. Could anyone share their
experience or any feedback on this? I
would feel lot better if you do. Thanks

They practically always take out wisdom
teeth, didn't they give you any meds, I
would call and talk to the dentist or the
assistant.
Sincerely,
sandy

Yes they suggested I shud take pain
killers and they told me they will take it
out on tuesday. I guess I wasnt clear
with my question.
I wanted to know if the pain from the
pressure of wisdom tooth would cause any
damage to other teeth because I have been
waiting for almost a week since I have
this pain. I am really worried about it
and I am taking ibuprofen 3 times a day
and 2 percogesic in the night to relieve
the pain but I still feel a lot of pain
after I eat especially.

One week won't hurt.. I waited 4 weeks
between when my pain set in and when I got
mine out.. (this was only due to
scheduling issues between school and a
previous scheduled vacation). I lived on
ibuprofen for 2 weeks, but luckily the 2
weeks prior the pain subsided. The tooth
won't shift enough in a week to do any
damage so I wouldn't worry about that.
If the x-rays had showed differently, your
dentist wouldn't be waiting a week.

Thanks for response. The dentist is
taking long because of scheduling. He
suggested 3 ibuprofen a day so I have been
taking that for almost a week. However,
yesterday I had pain in my stomach so I
stopped using it. Did anyone have this
problem and how did you feel better? I
have heard of peptobismol but I dont know
if I shud use that.
