I have painful wisdom teeth but am afraid of the dentist. What can I do?

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Q.

Hi there I have a wisdom tooth coming in and it has always been a LITTLE painful, like a dull pain and I thought nothing of it, Iv had this light, dull pain for a year or more but recently (the last week) it has been getting sorer and sorer and now I�ve booked-in to see my dentist on Friday 22nd April. I brush frequently, always make DOUBLY sure to brush my coming-in wisdom teeth as much as I can and use mouth wash and do the odd flossing in a week. I have a fear of the dentist because I have a fear of needles so this is why I take SUCH good care of my teeth. I am 20 and only have 1 filling which I got as a child and some white plasticy coatings in the grooves of most of my molars that my uncle gave me as he is a dental hygienist.
The gum around my painful Wisdom tooth is VERY red and swollen and the pain can be too much to handle, I�ve been taking Anadin to cope with the pain better but even the rubbing of my tongue when I swallow or talk or eat is painful as it rubs the swollen bit of gum.
I�ve set myself up for getting it removed but I am VERY scared of needles in my mouth and just thinking about it makes me cry LOL Im just wondering if they�d still use General Anaesthetic with me? Im in Scotland.
Thanks

Is there any way I could not have my wisdom teeth extracted?

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011
Q.

I’m asking this question as I’m concerned about one of my wisdom teeth. I’m aware they’re slightly impacted, not much on that note though. Though the main concern is the fact that my gums seem to be getting in the way and are getting chewed upon by the wisdom teeth. I’m simply wondering, is this perhaps due to the gum swelling up due to the recent erruption of the wisdom teeth or is it just my teeth being too crowded.

The easy option would be having the wisdom tooth pulled more than likely, but that seems a bit drastic for something that might just be swollen gums or an infection.

Thanks in advance for any reply,
Sean Swinzly.

Do you think I need root canal treatment or should I just have the wisdom tooth extracted?

Saturday, December 4th, 2010
Q.

I had a wisdom tooth drilled two months ago for a small cavity (composite filling). The tooth has been sensitive to cold, heat, touch, sometimes just aches. About a week ago….I was much better without those symptoms but this week the pain has returned. Should I give this more time or does this look like a root canal, extraction? Are there other options besides RC and extraction?

Not really, if its a wisdom to… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I have a hard bite problem and need a cheap solution. Do you have anything that can help?

Monday, November 22nd, 2010
Q.

Hi Andrew,

Im a 20 year old female, and im currently suffering from Bruxism and a very uncomfortable bite which i think had made it worse. i want to see if i qualify for orthodontic treatment on the NHS.

I’ve always ground my teeth at night but in the last year it has gotten quite severe, and more noticable since my boyfriend moved in and has to wake me up to stop constantly in the night. i wake up with an aching jaw and headaches most days and dread going to sleep incase i cause more damage…

i had a brace when i was 13 but since i had it off and i gradually stopped wearing my retainer, my wisdom teeth have started coming through and slowly my bite has become unbearable, my molars dont align comfortably and this bothers me to the point where i think about it throughout the day and find myself clenching my jaw and rubbing my front teeth against eachother.

Im also extremely worried about my enamel. i have a weak stomach and have developed an intolerance to alcohol which ive only just recognised, but for the last 3 or 4 years have been sick at least once a month and up to twice a week. consequently my front teeth are transparant half way down.

my teeth are very sensitive and ive started to get a shooting pain up one of my molars which comes and goes, my dentist x rayed and said nothing was wrong.

Im wondering if my wisdom teeth coming through in the last couple of years has caused my bite to change and has subsequently made the bruxism worse?

ive got to the point where i go to sleep and have nightmares about my teeth and spend all day with an aching jaw and headahce worrying about it and then dread going to sleep…

i know theres plates available but im wondering if i can get my bite fixed with orthodontics on the NHS? Would i qualify for this?
I want to get it sorted and feel more comfortable and stop worrying but im a student and i cant afford to pay for it privately. is there a cheap way to fix the problem?

Thank you for your time,
I’d love some advice, or some kind of alternative for a low budget. This is causing me so much stress and discomfort.

Thanks a lot

Is the pain around gum at the back of my mouth a wisdom tooth erupting?

Friday, October 8th, 2010
Q.
Hi there, I just wanted some reassurance regarding a tooth. I have read the pages on this website which seemed very in depth & helpful. I’ve been reading on the subject of wisdom teeth. On my lower jaw, I have developed some soreness around the gum. I think it’s one of my wisdom teeth trying to come through. It feels like tooth ache, but no tooth is there, also do they come through at different times, as I have to trouble on the other side of the lower jaw. Thanks for any help with my questions. ,
