i dont have insurance and my wisdom teeth are killing me. i have tried orajel, tylenol and baby teeth tablets. they work for a little bit but then the pain returns and its starting to affect my sleep. what can i do to help ease the pain until i can afford to get them removed?
Read your query ,as you have pain in wisdom tooth this pain can be due to carious tooth , decayed tooth , or impacted tooth . Dont worry I will suggest you to do warm saline rinses 2 -3 times a day and you can take medicine like Cap . Amoxicillin and analgesic like Diclofenac sodium or Ketrol dt by consulting with your local doctor . Consult your dentist and go for ots treatment.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain can be because of the erupting wisdom tooth causing inflamation of the overlying gums called pericoronitis. If i am your treaing doctor, I would suggest you to take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Along with this you can take an anlgesics like diclofenac 50mg bid. Do saline gargling. Be cool, do not get stressed up. But the medicine are for short period of time, once you finish your exams you can consult a dental surgeon and get the tooth removed. Regarding your insurance, if you do not have insurance, you can get the tooth removed in a educational dental institute. There you can get it free of cost or with nominal price. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
