Impacted wisdom teeth?
Ibuprofen is the best for dental pain, also rinse with luke warm salty water to keep the area clean. Then see your dentist as soon as, he might give you some antibiotics to keep you going until you have the tooth out.
Reply:Make sure the dentist you are making the appointment to, can remove the impacted tooth, this is not something general dentist do. I would suggest Advil or tylenol.. They will most likely put you on antibiotics before they can remove the tooth to get rid of the infection.
Reply:Sound like one of those that avoids going to the dentist. Do as the dental nurse says, but call today for an appointment. This is sort of an emergency. Good dentists don't like patients to be in pain and can usually see you soon. Don't put it off as it won't get better and can damage the other tooth.
Reply:i just went through the same thing. seriously. i took motrin for bout 3 days then it stopped completely. and yesterday i just had it pulled. soooooo either/or ibprof. or motrin, first time u take them though take bout 3 or 4. buttttttttt dont take to many cause asprin can thin ur blood and then you'll bleed alot when u get ur tooth pulled so a week b4 ur appt only take it for 3 days. that way u have 4 days for it to wear off.
Reply:solouble asprin on your finger neat and rub on the gum area that hurts!
Reply:ouch! until mine were removed for same reason the only painkiller that subdued it (none completely got rid of the pain if it's bad enough) was the ibuprofen liquid capsules, it acts faster than the rest i tried and more targetted. Good luck!
Reply:Clove oil, this is fairly inexpensive and keeps for a long time. You can also use it in several ways. You can mix with some water and use as a mouth wash. You can also dip a cotton bud in some clove oil and then apply directly to the painful area. Not the nicest taste but this really does work. You can but clove oil from any pharmacist or even supermarkets
Reply:You can try over the counter pain killers but it might be too late. It may be infected and if it is the over the counter stuff wont work. I dont know if you have made an appointment yet with the dentist but if you havent you need to right away and also tell them that you are in pain and think it may be infected. Ask them if they can prescibe an antibiotic for you to take while waiting for your appointment. That happened to me and I just called my dentist and they called the pharmacy right away with my prescription. I had put off getting my wisdom tooth taken out because I was scared. But when it started hurting like that I couldnt put it off any longer. I made the app. and to me it was better than going to the dentist. I fell asleep woke up and they were done. I personally didnt have to take the pain pills they gave me afterward. I just used a bag of peas on my jaw like they told me to for the swelling and later used something warm (as they told me too) Good Luck! AND call your dentist for that prescription and appointment!
Reply:try an over the counter mouth pain killerlike orajel can be found in local pharmacy
