Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Well, if you have 4 painful teeth then taking painkillers alone is not a good idea as they will provide only temporary relief and the pain will flare up once the effect of the pain reliever will wean off..

In case if you do not have early appointment available with your dentist then you can consult another oral physician or an oral surgeon or dentists at dental colleges to get attended early..

Your teeth first of need to be scanned by an IOPAR [X-ray]..

Once the cause is ruled out the teeth has to be treated accordingly.
If your wisdom teeth are causing problem they can simply be extracted for permanent resolution..
Other painful teeth can either be saved with root canal treatment or extracted depending on the condition of teeth..

Hope this information helps..

Hi...

Welcome to healthcare magic.

As per your complain you have problem of four carious and wisdom tooth problem also.Severe toothach may be because of infection or related to other lesion .

Take one orthopantogram OPG or IOPA related to that tooth.That one help in further diagnosis. Proper antibiotics coverage helpful for infection situation.
Clinical examination of oral cavity give exact idea about problems.
Consult a dentist for further treatment.

I hope my guidance helpful to you..
Take care.
Thank you.
