Suggest Remedies For Infection And Pain In Wisdom Teeth

I have a few problems. The first I have had for many months, my bottom left wisdom tooth has come in, but didn't come all the way out. It allows food to get under the gums and get infected, its pusses alot. The second problem is my bottom and top back molars are turning black and starting to hurt, despite good brushing. My wisdom teeth are also coming in right behind both of those teeth. What can I do with no insurance? I'm in pain everyday.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The painand infection could be because of the gum infection over the wisdom tooth (pericoronal infection leading to space infection). The discoration can be secondary to the decay.
Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed.
If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed.
If I am your treating doctor, Mean while I would have prescribed a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic).
Do saline gargling. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
