I am in a lot of pain after having my wisdom teeth removed, what can I do?

Monday, February 21st, 2011
Q.

I had my two wisdom teeth removed on 09.02. and ever since the pain was so bad that I went to see my dentist 6 days later. I was prescribed antibiotics and antibacterial medication, however the pain continued. On the 8th day I went again and the doctor cleaned the socket and put some medication in. I felt relieved for the rest of the day and slept well during the night but on the next day the pain continued. Honestly the pain is not as severe as it was but still when I lay down it increases and I could not go to sleep. I feel like a walking zombie, never being so miserable.The other thing that concerns me is that my lobe is somehow stiff. After the surgery I felt it was numb but I thought it was from the anastetics. Now when the pain comes, it spreads up to the same lob. This morning I also had a strange feeling going down my neck. I feel horrible and panicking a lot. My doctor ensured me that the condition is improving but I can’t bear it anymore. My doctor told me that it could take up to 3-4 weeks to heal due to the infection. Is everything that I described normal? Is it normal the pain to appear every tiem I put my head down? Please, help me what to do?

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.

I went to the dentist recently and my wisdom teeth are coming through, also I have another tooth that is falling out, what should I do

Monday, January 31st, 2011
Q.

Hello,
I’m 18 and went to the dentist a few days ago, they told me that my wisdom teeth are coming through ( well one has come through slightly). Is there any thing i can do about them? Also my biggest problem is that i had an x-ray scan on one of my front teeth because it has been hurting slighlty and has been wabbling abit, they said that the tooth/root is shorter than the rest of my teeth and they said it looks like it has reduced in size and will keep getting smaller till it falls out! I don’t know what to do, i am really affraid of that tooth to the point i can barley sleep at night. I always brush my teeth everyday and floss etc and have good oral hygine.
Can you please give me some advice of what i could do? Do you think my tooth could come out? If so what can i do to replace it? Can i get my wisdom teeth romoved? Please help!
Much appreciated.
