Wisdom Teeth?

What can I do to help the situation? They are coming through right now, or trying to. It is hurting like the dickens.

Wisdom Teeth?
Take anti inflammatory medication. 1 tab is equal to 2 hours of pain relief. 4 tabs would be like a prescription level, but only every 8 hours and not on an empty stomach. Aleve is less medicine to have to take. Usually only 2 tabs for the whole day. Take one morning and night.


You have to see your dentist. He needs an xray to see how they are coming in and how developed the root system is. Get them out. Don't put it off. Don't suffer for a long time, it's not worth it. Even if the pain goes away, most likely it will come back.
Reply:Go see your dentist and get a referal for an oral surgeon. He can advise you....Good luck hope this helps.

Reply:Check with your dentist. Pain and swelling around your wisdom teeth indicate that they're causing problems. Whether or not you have any symptoms, x-rays will show whether there's infection or whether your teeth are impacted -- that is, if there's no room for them to erupt through the gum.


Even if you don't have pain or swelling, your dentist may recommend that you get your wisdom teeth removed early on. The main reason is that recent studies show that wisdom teeth are linked to a higher rate of chronic bacterial infection in the gums, and can endanger the health of both the back and front teeth -- even if the patient feels no symptoms at all.


A study of 329 patients who had intact wisdom teeth, for example, found that even though the participants had no symptoms of discomfort, there was still evidence of disease-causing bacteria around their wisdom teeth. In fact, the study authors, who published their report in a recent issue of the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, concluded that gum disease in young adults often begins around the wisdom teeth.


If impacted wisdom teeth are not addressed, the following may occur:


Teeth Shifting: Wisdom teeth may cause a shift in surrounding teeth and cause pain.


Bone Loss and Jaw Expansion: Wisdom teeth may play a role in bone loss and expansion of the jaw.


Congestion: Wisdom teeth may contribute to sinus congestion and headaches.


Cysts and Tumors: Wisdom teeth may be factor in bone destroying tumors or cysts, including cyst formation in the surrounding gum tissue.


Gum Tissue Irritation: Gum tissue surrounding impacted wisdom teeth tends to be more susceptible to gum irritation. If wisdom teeth become crooked and not fully erupted, it may be difficult to clean the gums.


Periodontal Pockets, Cavities and Bone Loss: Difficulty cleaning gums makes it easy for debris to be lodged and creates the perfect setting for bacteria. The resulting bacteria may produce periodontal pockets, create cavities, and lead to bone loss.


Changes in Orthodontia and Dentures: For children and the elderly, erupted wisdom teeth may create unique problems by affecting the results of orthodontia or undermining the functionality of dentures.


It's also easier to remove the teeth when you're younger, because the jawbone is less dense and the tooth's root is not yet fully developed, according to American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
