Should I Get An X Ray Of Teeth To Check The Growth Of Wisdom Tooth Due To Unbearable Pain?

hi i have been having problems with my right lower wisdom tooth. my upper wisdom teeth came through with no problem they are slightly out of position but didnt cause any pain. my bottom right tooth however has been painful on and off for a year or two. this has finally broken through now and the tooth can be seen slightly. however it seems to be slightly to the right snd so is growing into my cheek. i have been having alot of pain for the past 3weeks so i finally visited the dentist who prescribed me with antibiotics as they believed it was infected. my pain, however, seems to be getting worse; my jaw, hear and even right eye are in pain. The two teeth next to the wisdom tooth are in constant agony and throbbing. I am even more concerned as my cheek keeps bleeding and it appears the tooth is partially coming through my cheek. i am worried to attended the dentist again who said she believes it will come through strait and that it is just the infection. She seemed to dismiss me and said to finish the antibiotics and il b fine; she wouldnt even do an x-ray to check if it was coming through straight. i have never been in such pain and i dont know what to do. i have almost finished the antibiotics but the pain just seems to be getting worse. To top it all off im going abroad next friday so worried the plain will make it worse! help!

Hi,

yes you need to get on x ray to and if its course is abnormal then needs extraction. For now you can continue antibiotics with NSAID like Aceclofenac/ ibuprofen with serratiopeptidase. Do regular salt water gargle. These will help you.
