Thanks for using Health Care magic.

Read your query.

Wisdom tooth do cause severe pain if they are not erupting completely or when they are impacted ,gets decayed and causes infection leading to severe pain radiating to the neck and head region.

If the doctor has advised you to for the extraction ,please go ahead with after having a radiograph done to know the position of the tooth.
For the pain you can have ibuprofen(if you are not allergic to any medicine).Antibiotics like amoxicillin will be required after prescription from the dentist.

Do Salt water gargling and follow the post extraction instruction properly.Relax as it will not affect your eyesight.
Avoid applying hot bag externally.

Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
