I have a wisdom tooth coming through which is causing me a lot of pain. I can’t go to the dentist so what can I do?
Q. Heya, My wisdom tooth is coming through and it is really painful, the side of my face is swollen, the gums surrounding the tooth are inflamed, also there is a small amount of white covering the gums around it, Is this normal? I have a problem though, I am agoraphobic so I cant go to the dentist or to get it removed, What can I do to stop the pain because i have been in agony ?? Thanks,
A. I’m sorry to hear of your problems but you will need to get this checked out at a dentist asap as it can turn very nasty if left
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
Rebecca
