Answers:
Mix 2 drops of clove oil with 1/8 teaspoon olive oil. Soak a cotton ball with this mixture and place it on the tooth, bite down gently on the cotton ball to keep it in place. Leave it there for some time as clove oil contains eugenol, which is a natural pain killer and antibacterial.
Place a small piece of onion on the paining tooth, as it has bactericidal properties which will help to decrease your pain.
Consult a dentist as the direction in which the wisdom tooth is growing might not be appropriate, causing pain. Divert your mind by keeping yourself busy in other activities of your interests.

Health Question & Answer

Get your wisdom teeth removed. :O Mine never broke through the skin but they had to be removed. My two bottom teeth were impacted, so they were just pushing my other teeth rather than pushing up. Wisdom teeth can also cause infections under the skin, which can lead to bigger problems later on.

But to relieve pain, try pain killers (ibruprofen, advil, tylenol, etc) or I'd eat ice cream (after getting my wisdom teeth out I could only live off Wendy's frosties). :D But I definitely suggest seeing your dentist!

If you have any questions about the procedure, feel free to ask me! :DHealth Question & Answer

Wisdom teeth that become impacted can cause a variety of problems, from nuisance pain to serious dental disorders. Impacted wisdom teeth often must be surgically removed.

Health Question & Answer

Try some ibuprofen. It helps reduce the swelling. You may want to see a dentist to make sure it is in the right position. Two of mine were growing sideways and had to be removed by the dentist. You can get some ambusol and see if that will help too. Ice on your jaw for about 15 minutes will help reduce swelling too and also numbs pain.Health Question & Answer

Awww, honey...I'm so sowwy!!

As much as you don't wanna, you've gotta go to the dentist...it's time for xrays and a possible extraction of that tooth. The reason it hasn't broken through the skin is because it can't; it's probably impacted and surgery is the only way to get it out.Health Question & Answer
