what is he supposed to do.?

is surgery absolutely necessary.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Surgery isn't absolutely necessary - all teeth hurt coming in, it's not a sign they need to be removed. Right now, he could manage the pain by taking painkillers like Ibuprofen, and keeping the gums around the wisdom teeth really clean to prevent infection - e.g. by rinsing with warm salty water after meals. Clove oil applied to the gums with a cotton swab can also help with the pain by numbing the area a little.

It's best to get an x-ray of these teeth to see if they're coming in okay - I don't know how much that would cost, but you could try phoning up a few local dentists to get an idea. If it gets really bad, try finding an emergency treatment centre.

All the best!Health Question & Answer

Go to a dental clinic or dental school. They usually have a sliding scale for payments. Get a check-up, and let the dentist determine if any surgery is actually needed. Health Question & Answer
