I have another question about an Infected Impacted Wisdom Tooth?

Good heavens! get another dentist! The one you have enjoys your pain far too much. the tooth is abscessing...you should be on antibiotics NOW. and an infected, abscessed tooth should NOT be messed with until the infection is done away with!

You should go see your dentist asap.  I used to be a dental assistant and there are illnesses in the gums that can be treated.  Infections that you may not even know are there.  If you wait and don't find out what it is, the sockets can become looser and you could risk losing your teeth.

Get it out!!! Oh I totally feel for you and know exactly what you are saying. I am a dental assistant and I work in a dental office, however the doctors in my office did not want to remove my wisdom teeth because of the way they sat in relation to the nerves, etc. I waited it out, forever in so much pain before I finally saw an oral surgeon, who specifically deal with extractions opposed to general dentists. He did a great job, and no after effects, and all the pain is gone! I strongly advise you to get in there and get them out. They always warn you about the risks, they have to, but not to worry. You will be in good hands. Good luck!!!

Usually, wisdom teeth are erupted in the late teens/early twenties. If yours have not erupted, but you're feeling discomfort, go to your dentist. The only way you're going to know what is happening is by having an xray. You could have impacted molars, cysts... a whole range of things. Only your dentist can tell you this. However, not all people have all of their wisdom teeth (I have none... they are congenitally missing). So... again, only a dentist will be able to tell you how many wisdom teeth you have, if they are going to grow in and if there are any problems. Request a panoramic xray.

No, it's not normal!  Go back to your dentist and get x-rayed.  If he again says it's nothing, go to your doctor.  Something is clearly wrong that is causing the area to be inflamed (the swelling).

If it is infected then the dentist will prescribe you an antibiotic to take for a week to 10 days and then have you return to have the tooth extracted.  An infected tooth is considered a 'hot' tooth and hot teeth just will not get numb, therefore, you will be experiencing extreme pain during the procedure because you will feel everything that is happening.  The purpose of taking the antibiotic first is so that the tooth will numb and the procedure is more comfortable for you.  Therefore, it's in your best interest to take the antibiotic and clear up the infection before the extraction.

if you have had your tonsills checked by yr doctor and he says that there isn't a problem then i would got to your dentist and have a check up as you could have an infection in your teeth,there could be an underlying problem that could be soughted with antibiotics

Hey I feel your pain! Had mine removed last fall.  For the first few days I just ate food I didn't have to chew so I didn't get food stuck in the wounds - yogurt, etc.  Also, and this is important!--  Ask your dentist's office for a special thing that looks like a clear plastic little syringe - you fill it with water and spray into your wounds to clean them.  That helped me a lot!feel better soon, good luck! :)

Please see a Dentist or Oral Surgeon immediately. You have an infection and need an antibiotic in order to get rid of it. I went through the same thing, fatigue, temperature, aching, and dizziness. I had my employer prescribe an antibiotic then had a root canal (RCT). The antibiotic is a temporary solution, it will not take care of this problem permanently. If it is a wisdom tooth, you simply need an extraction. But only a dentist can make a proper diagnosis. It is possible to die from an infection like this, but those are extreme cases. The only way to take care of your problem is to see a Dentist, have a radiograph, and exam. They will make an appropriate treatment plan. Check your area, see if they have medicaid offices, free dental clinics in place, or clinics that have a sliding scale fee. Maybe your dental office has some sort of credit company they work with that can help you.

You need to go back to your dentist and make him fix this! NOW!\n\nIt should only have been open for 3 to 5 days.

take your dental floss and push under the kernal if that dosen't work brush over your gum and use mouthwash. if it's really lodged in there good and deep you might want to ask a pharamicst because it would be ridiculous to go to the dentist and pay for that unless there is no other way!

please go to your dentist, he'll check on it without payment because it is his duty to do it. do not take a risk relying on others experience,it might came out for her but maybe not on you. you're right that there's a possibility to have an infection. it's your health! Be safe!

sounds like you have a fungal infection called thrush. you can use a product called gly-oxide. it's an anti-septic mouth rinse. it will sting, but you have to swish it around for at least 30-45 seconds. then you can spray chloraseptic in your mouth and swish that around...it will really help to numb the pain. you could possibly have a virus too...if that's the case, it just has to run it's course...usually 7-10 days for canker sores. if you're not getting any better after 5 days or so, or start to run a fever, go to the doctor...they might have to swab your mouth for a culture to find out what you have, and determine if you need antibiotics.

um, we dont really need it.  lol @ the guy above who said that we lose 35% intelligence. \nBut why do u want it removed? \nI had crowding in my teeth, and i got braces. I had to get my 4 wisdom teeth removed. But, you should get it removed one at a time. These are really permanent and deep rooted teeth. Im sure ur dentist would not remove them all at once. I had to get stiches for the removal of 2, it was that hard to get it out. \n\nIf it doesnt create trouble then dont. Do you really want to be stuck with sedative injections in ur gum and then having it being pulled with force if not required? ( and the injections really hurt, when they push the medicine in. They stick u 2-3 times). 2 of my wisdoms removed easy, in about 5 mins of pulling. The other 2 were a real pain. took 30 mins, they had the suction machine to suck the bleeding that was there (it was alot). They drilled it with a machine to split the tooth in 2 pieces as it was deep rooted. The drilling hurt alot, depite the sedative injections they gave. It really hit the core of ur nerve. They then stiched it up. \nAfterwards,  u cant really eat freely for a few days. Your mouth would obviously be swelling alot. And you would have to take anti-biotics tablets to prevent infection. (which means, u could get  and that would be worse case senario).\n\nSo if u dont have a choice, then u dont. If u do, its all a matter of if u want to go through the not very nice proceedure :)

I had mine removed and it was a piece of cake. They knock you out so you don't feel a thing.  If you aren't having any problems then I wouldn't worry about them.  If your dentist recommends getting them out, then I would inquire more at that time.  No need to worry now.

Be brave and call the dentist.\n\nIn the meantime take Advil to help with pain and inflammation.
