Suggest Remedy For Pain After Having Wisdom Tooth Extracted

Hi I had 2 wisdom teeth on the lower right side of my cheek the front was fully developed and the back one was growing against the fully developed one. In january the dentist decided to remove the fully developed one to give room for the new ( back ) one to grow and to relieve the pressure, given that the back one is already growing out at a wicked angle that will make it very difficult to extract. Since september the back teeth is growing again and the pain has been on and off. Lately, the pain is continuous with white marks around the growing wisdom teeth and a lump on the inside of my cheek close to the growing wisdom teeth location( that is very painful). if I press against my cheeks or lower jaw from the outside I could feel the pain. Is that normal???

hi
Most of the wisdom teeth follow their own course of eruption. The angulation of eruption and positioning wrt to the adjacent tooth is always assessed before planning out any treatment .The tooth with an abrupt angultion is the prefernce without touching the normal tooth . You need another reevaluation by an oral surgeon for this tooth to ensure if extraction can be avoided keeping in mind the fact that you are in much pain and the treatment provided in the past has done no good . take care
