Wisdom Teeth?

I don't know what they are. Not everyone might call them that I don't know. But mine apparently are coming in. ITS PAINFUL!!! Very painful. What is there I can do to reliever at least a little bit of the pain? Oraljel? Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are supposedly, or at least if my information is correct, de-evolved back teeth that has been with us since the dawn of man. Since it is growing within the jaw and there is no room for it to grow pass your emerge-back teeth. It instead moves sideways and presses against your back teeth of both upper and lower jaws. Un-removed wisdom teeth can cause great pain and oral diseases if not treated soon in your adult years. There is no pain reliever. You have to get it removed.





Just yesterday, I just had my wisdom teeth removed. It is weird (which takes only about 30-35 minutes for me) and a little painful after the surgery (still hurts but is not as bad as it was several hours ago) but it is worth it. My brother went through the same thing and he recovered very well after about a month. I can't guarantee if the procedure is pain free or cheap but whatever you want to be rid of your wisdom teeth or not is up to you. Try consulting a doctor if you have any questions or need more information about it.
Reply:Try taking any pain reliever to start.


You might need to go to your dentist to make sure your wisdom teeth are coming well posisioned, because if they are coming out tilted or (just not straight in general) they might affect the teeth you already have. Your dentist will likely sugests you to have your wisdom teeth removed. is not necesary, but because they are a little harder to reach 100% perfect hygene might be hard to accomplish; that would later give you more problems.


once they are out (and straight) try to keep them as clean as possible.
Reply:Wisdom teeth (3rd molars) were important to humans thousands of years ago when we needed to chew tougher foods. Since our diets have become more refined, we don't need those extra chewing teeth, and our jaws have become smaller (evolution...controversial word nowadays!), sort of like when we stopped needing tails!


The pain you're having is most likely from an infection, please see your dentist for referral to an oral surgeon.
Reply:it's naturally painful,coz there's a little space on ur gums..





i already have 2 wisdom teeth..and it takes months before it actually comes out whole :) my 1st wisdom teeth took 8 months before it really became a molar..then the 2nd one, it's still coming out of my gums, for its 3rd month..





i didn't take any medicine for that... i could bear the pain. .but to u, if it's untolerable, ask ur dentist on what medicine u should take to lessen the pain... don't just buy from drugstore without asking him, it might cause an infection :)
