I'd take 600-800 mg ibuprofen an hour or so prior to your visit.  Use Advil Liqui-Gel, because they will be in your system faster.  You can also swallow them with almost no water at all, if you have to be without food or drink.

Best have that checked out right away. I waited to long and it got infected. I was in the hospital for 11 days. (4 in intensive care) the dentist was a local doctor with out much experience. He tried removing the tooth, by pulling it giving me 6 shots of Novocain. it wouldn't come out and he broke it. Leaving small fragments in thus winding up in the hospital.\nThe wisdom teeth are said to be removed as soon as possible. If left they push the other teeth out of alignment causing pain and possible jaw dislocation. Seek Medical help right away, and remember...ice is your friend.

For strength to heal.. \nbut mostly because no one eats after having their teeth pulled. some people won't eat for a whole week. Just sip water or whatever. \n\nIf they know it's okay to eat and how much to eat, they are more likely to eat. \nGoing hungry can weaken your system and that could lead to infection.

yes you should have it pulled or you are taking a chance of your other teeth getting infected

You can talk to either your dentist and they might recommend an oral surgeon to go to so that they can check your wisdom teeth.  Even though it isn't causing any pain they might recommend having them taking out because it causes your teeth to shift (at least thats what happened to me).

Go to the dentist!  a wisdom tooth could cause an infection that could make you very very ill.  A dentist will only charge you a couple hundred $'s for extraction and if you tell them ahead of time, they will take payments.\n\nYou could find a dental school in your area, they may do it for a fraction of the cost, but you are getting people who have no experience, and the pain level could be worse.

call your dentist! They do care more about you than the money. Ask them if you can pay them so much a week.

Not bad.  Just do EXACTLY what they tell you to do after-wards and you should be fine.  And make sure you get good, powerful painkillers for after. \n\nI know people who ate steak for dinner the same day!!\n\nHave them knock you out.  Unless you want to hear and see what they're doing.\n\nImpacted teeth that have to be cracked cause more pain after.  I had two.  \n\nStock up on ice cream, jello, soup, soft foods, mashed potatoes are good. foods you don't have to chew!

Try an oral surgeon.  They regurarly use IV sedation to assist patients in extraction - expect it to be costly.

talk to your dental doctor tell him that you need alternatives for operation if he think that he can control the situation without using operation he wont do any operation..But if the problem have increased very much that means you gotta do the operation...

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.

There are dental access centres in most major towns in Britain, which provide emergency dental care for people not registered with a dentist. They just charge standard NHS prices. If you go on the NHS website there's a page to locate dentists in your area - type in your postcode and it'll bring up a list, if you go through it you should be able to find a dental access centre near you. Generally you can get appointments the same day, or the next day. I would NOT advise that you pull the tooth yourself, particularly if it's very badly decayed as it could easily break when you try to pull it, causing further problems.

I had all four of mine pulled in the Navy, out on the ship - so they didn't even put me out.  Just gave me novacaine (which didn't work - they didn't give me enough, I still felt everything).  Avoid smoking and sucking on things until you are all healed.  Otherwise you'll get dry socket.  I didn't, but I heard it's extremely painful.  Follow your instructions from your dentist, he may tell you not to gargle with alcoholic mouth wash for a while.  When mine were pulled they gave me Tylenol 3 and Motrin 800.  I only used a total of 4 Motrins over the course of 2 days just to keep the swelling down.  I didn't have hardly any swelling, or extra bleeding.  Just keep clean gause in the back.  It was uncomfortable, but not nearly as painful as everyone always says.  I ate Easy Mac, Top Ramen - things of that nature for a couple days.  Something easy to swallow and didn't invole much chewing.  You'll be just fine.\nGood Luck

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! :)
