Im experiencing ALOT of pain with one of my wisdom teeth breaking through. My cheek and my gum has been swollen for about 5 days now and i can feel a little lump on the edge of my gum. I've also noticed a really bad taste in my mouth.
I've not been able to eat anything but soup as it hurts to eat. It even hurts to smile because of my cheek.
Do you think i should get it removed? Is it normal to experience this?? and also do they impact on flying as i am travelling around at the moment and am scared to fly incase it causes more problems...
thanks for your help...
Wisdom Teeth...?
Talk to your dentist immediatlely. He/She maybe able to prescribe something for your pain. Depending on your discomfort they may want to you to have them removed (probably not a bad idead any way). Not sure on the flying, but the different air pressure may cause more added pressure on you teeth.
Reply:I would see a dentist or orthodontist to see if it needs to be removed, often they remove them because it will cause the rest of your teeth to become crooked. It will hurt while it comes in, just like teething in babies.
Reply:Wisdom teeth are a valuable asset to the mouth when they are healthy and properly positioned. Often, however, problems develop that require their removal. When the jaw isn't large enough to accommodate wisdom teeth, they can become impacted (unable to come in or misaligned). Wisdom teeth may grow sideways, emerge only part way from the gum or remain trapped beneath the gum and bone.
Extraction of wisdom teeth is generally recommended when:
* Wisdom teeth only partially erupt. This leaves an opening for bacteria to enter around the tooth and cause an infection. Pain, swelling, jaw stiffness and general illness can result.
* There is a chance that poorly aligned wisdom teeth will damage adjacent teeth.
* A cyst (fluid-filled sac) forms, destroying surrounding structures such as bone or tooth roots.
Patients should ask the dentist about the health and positioning of their wisdom teeth. The dentist may make a recommendation for removal or send the patient to an oral surgeon for further evaluation.
Reply:YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH A GENERAL DENTIST AND HE WILL REFER YOU TO AN ORAL SURGEON. THE BAD TASTE AND PAIN IS POSSIBLE INFECTION. IT'S NORMAL TO EXPERIENE THIS WHEN THEY SHOULD BE REMOVED. DO NOT! LET A GENERAL DENTIST REMOVE THEM AND MAKE SURE YOU DO GET AN ANTIBIOTIC! SOMETIMES AN ORAL SURGEON WILL REQUIRE YOU TO TAKE AN ANTIBIOTIC PRIOR TO REMOVAL. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!
