Hi, im24 single mom.no health coverage and my wisdoms are causing me big issues. Ive had one partial wisdom half in half out for about 1.5 years. I have neck, ear, throat and jaw pain everyday. I just started having problems opening my mouth in the past monthor so. Tonight I ried.to.open my mouth to eat and My whole jaw clicked and throbbed in pain. What can I do?
you can start antibiotics and analgesics for three days,if you can visit your dentist ,then it is the best.
Medication will give you immediate relief but it is short term relief.
when the tooth is half erupted in the jaw,then it is best to get it extracted. wisdom teeth causes recurrent infections,due to its location. it is difficult to clean during normal brushing.
Therefore,meet your dentist and get it extracted soon ,if possible.
meanwhile you can do antiseptic mouth rinsing,after each meal. this will give you immediate relief.
Hi Welcome to HCM I would like to tell you that your wisdom teeth is impacted. Its better to get it extracted as early as possible because it will lead to further problems.Even difficulty in cleaning in that area will lead to pericoronitis which means inflammation at that region. Start with analgesic & antibiotic for 3 days. Do betadine gargles twice a day. Consult your dentist & get it extracted.
Hi As per your details, your wisdom teeth seems to be impacted. Infection in flap covering wisdom tooth(Pericoronitis) causes pain and swelling. May be your wisdom tooth is applying pressure on the adjacent tooth which is responsible for your symptoms. Visit a dentist , have a x-ray of this tooth to see the alignment ,and rule out whether its extaction will be normal or surgical. Follow antibiotic prescrition to control infection. Use antiseptic mouthwash twice daily. Take care
