Hi, i went to the dentist today as my wisdom tooth at the top is causing me a bit of pain, they said i have infection and got antibiotics and that the tooth is coming through but on bit of a slant and may need removing. can i choose to have local or general anesthetic?
i’ve had 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed 2 days ago and my slight overbite has gotten much worse. is this temporary cause of the swelling?
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?
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,

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.
The bottom left side of my jaw has been aching for about 2 weeks now it feels slightly swollen and it hurts when i put mt teeth together. i have already had 2 wisdom teeth takenn out from the top i am just wondering how many wisdom teeth are you meant to get and could this possibly be a wisdom tooth causing this problem for me. i would be grateful if you could answer my question for me asap
many thanks
hi i have a tooth out going in the side of my mouth, on the inside and its just small just its right beside my molar tooth or the root and im scared incase it damages it what will should i do and if its not a an emergancy i will probably have to wait ages for an appointment
I had a brace when i was younger to straighten my teeth, since one of my wisdom tooth has come through its pushed my front teeth forward and now they are beginning to cross over at the front, its not major, but im worried if my second tooth comes through it will become worse, what would be the best thing i could do to correct this, and make my teeth straight again.
Hi, I went to the dentist this week as I had waves of intense pain, ear ache and jaw ache, and medication wasn’t touching it. The dentist did an xray and couldn’t see anything wrong. My fillings that side looked normal, there were no tooth cracks either. However my wisdom tooth can be felt above my teeth and is inflamed. I have now been reffered to the hospital to have this removed. I was also given antibiotics. My question is, I am now 2 and a half days into my antibiotics and the very bad pain has gone, however I cant bite down as there is pain on one tooth. It’s so bad I cant eat as I cant put any pressure on it. Will the antibiotics clear this or is it something my dentist has missed? Should I return to the dentist before my course of Antibiotics is finished?
