I have an impacted wisdom tooth...:-(?!
Question: I have an impacted wisdom tooth......:-(.?
It seems as if everyday it hurts.. Everytime I eat bread, certain meats, certain ice creams.. For the past few months I've been using Orajel.. This morning I had a sandwich and half way through eating it the pain "came up".. I put Orajel on and this time it didn't work.. Does that mean my tooth has gotten worse.? (I HATE THIS PAIN! I HAD A NATURAL CHILDBIRTH AND IT HURTS MORE THAN BEING IN LABOR..)Health Question & Answer

I feel you.. My two lower wisdom teeth were impacted and I had them surgically removed even though there wasn't any pain.. My dentist said it was best to remove them.. They're not of any use to you anyway because their impacted..
I suggest you ask your dentist about it, chances are he/she will recommend that they be pulled out.. Don't worry, you will be given anesthesia, and also painkillers before and after the procedure.. One important thing to remember: DO NOT allow the pain to kick in before you take the painkiller.. If you have to take it every 4 hours, then take it 15 or 30 minutes earlier.. For example you took it at 9am, you can take it again at 12:30 or 12:45 pm..
Hope you feel better soon!Health Question & Answer
