How do you stop the pain from wisdom teeth?

Get some ambesol. When I got my wisdom teeth it itched instead of hurting, and that's what I used. Apply it with a cotton swab so that your entire mouth doesn't become numb.

The sugar affects the nerves, causing pain. Brush more and eat less chocolate, and use a flouride rinse. For pain relief, dob the affected tooth with clove oil.

sound slike wisdom teeth are trying to make their way out!  get some nuprin (it;s like tylenol only better!)\n\nBTW - you wouldn't see a crack generally and soething below the gumline is totally invisible.\n\njust saw your add on.... no wisdom teeth huh....\n\nhere is my recommendation....  go to a local KMart or sporting goods store or whatnot. get a football bit gaurd.  fit it to your mouth and try that while sleeping.  very possible in your sleep you are gritting your teeth -clenching your jaw.  it's not the same as grinding - no tell tale signs until you lock your jaw or some other horrible thing but.... the gaurds cost about $2-3 and i recommend getting 2 -in case you mess up the first one.\n\ntrust me on this it might be a simple solution.  if not, you're stuck unti the dentist comes a calling!\n\nGood luck and feel better - the nuprin still works great though!!!

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

are u allergic to any medication? are you taking any meds? if not, you may try motrin, which is ibuprofen.  it is available in every pharmacy. it comes in 200mg. you can take 1 to 2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain. it can help with the pain and inflammation. but make sure that you take it with food or milk. b/c it can be strong to your stomach.  \nif ibuprofen alone doesn't do any good. it is ok to take it with tylenol.  if it is still not working, call up your dentist. there might be an after hour help line. \n  \nand you have to go check with your dentist on monday!

Ofcourse your first option should be to go to the dentist and know the reasons for the pain. Possible cause is a tooth decay. I'd suggest you having mild things like paracetamol or if there's a great lot of pain, go with diclomol. Obviously, analgesics are not a choice here tho. Back here in India, we do apply clove-oil in the affected area and that really works. Keep rinsing your mouth with salted water and brushing after every meal and avoid cold stuffs for the time being. \nBut as a long term relief, tooth extraction is definitly the option to go for.. Wish you get well soon!

Getting your wisdom teeth out is NOTHING compared to the pain of them growing and crowding your other teeth!!   Bring something to clench that fits into the palm of your hands like a rolled up newspaper or a beanie baby...it helps to squeeze it when you feel anxious..I'm not kidding, it works!  You'll see!  Besides, it's gonna be a peice of cake, cuz I already said a little prayer 4 u.......

You can take Tylenol (recommended dosage)\nrinse you mouth w/ warm salt water.\n\nyou can rub clove oil on your tooth area (where pain is coming from)\n\nyou can go to the ER and get pain medication until you can get into the dentist\n\nI am not sure what exactly you have done.  If you have swelling?\nHave you broken a tooth?  Have a large cavity?  Need a root canal?  If the pain continues please see a dentist!  You could have an infection.  \n\ndental problems can cause poor over all health.

unfortunately, nothing will truly take away the pain.  when the initial shock to the teeth and associated structures fades, you'll feel better.  typically it's fine a day or two later.  \n\nyou are correct in taking motrin/ibuprofen.  the key is to take the right amount.  the maximum daily dose of ibuprofen is 3200mg.  the typical prescription from your dentist would be 800mg every 6-8 hours.  the key is to keep the levels of the medication at a consistently high level for a few days to relieve the pain.  if you take only a pill or 2 at 200mg each once or twice a day, you'll get no relief.  be sure that your medical history allows for you to take the medication.  \n\ntylenol/acetaminophen or aspirin can also be used as an alternative.  some people have success with excedrin, which has tylenol, aspirin, and caffeine all in one pill.  good luck.  only time will heal it...

I know you don't want to hear this, but you must see a dentist.  You prob. have an abscess that needs attention. Putting off treatment by a dentist can put your health in danger, as well as your life.  Not getting help now will only make it worse.  I have once suffered a toothache from a hairline fracture in a wisdom tooth.  It was over the weekend and I thought I was going to go crazy from the pain.  No amount of Advil, oil of cloves, or any other remedy is going to help when it get's really bad.  I would never wish this kind of pain on anyone. There is nothing you can really do externally to help keep it at bay.  You need to have the infected tooth either extracted or opened up to let the infection drain out to relieve the pressure.  You also need an antibiotic to help get rid of the infection.  Don't wait, go as soon as possible.

You can go to the emergency room and the doctor there will write you a prescription for antibiotics and possible pain medicine. Some ER's have an emergency dental clinic. Check around for that in your area. Also, call as many dentisits as you can today/tomorrow and ask to be put on a cancellation list. If you have a regular general dentist that you've been to before and recently he will probably call in some antibiotics for you now. \nAnytime you have a toothache, keep your head elevated above your heart, which just means don't lay flat. Clove oil may also help, as pointed out above. If all else fails, take 800 mg. of Motrin every 6-8 hrs. and try to hang in there. Good luck.

If you grind your teeth on a regular basis, getting a bite plate for when you sleep is very helpful. I had one all through high school, and it really helped.\n\nIn college and later, I stopped the grinding but my TMJ still acted up. I avoid foods that involve repetitive chewing (gum, taffy, very tough steak). Some days I may take ibuprofen, which really helps the pain. Eating apples by cutting them up instead of taking a big bite (puts a strain on the jaw) helps as well.\n\nIf it's still pretty serious, it's worth it to talk to your dentist to find out other options. For serious TMJ, there are surgery options available. Good luck! Hope you feel better soon.

It sounds like you had a lot of teeth pulled - ouch!  I bled for almost 10 hours after my wisdom teeth were pulled, but it takes a long time for me to clot.  My dad is a dentist and he told me that the best thing to do is to continue taking your meds and bite down - hard - on the gauze the dentist gave you.  It will hurt, but you have to bite down for at least 30 mins very hard, then take 20 mins off and repeat.  Keep doing it until there is no more blood in the gauze.\n\nGood luck and rest up ;)

Depending on how old you are, it could be various things. I'm 18, and for me it's my wisdom teeth. Just about a week ago they started, and sometimes the pain is there, sometimes it isn't. It's a bitch, but go to the dentist, and chances are they'll tell you if it's a cavity, infection, or what. If you bite down and that eases the pain, your teeth are moving (wisdom teeth). If it hurts no matter what, and it's a sharp numbing pain, it's an infection or a cavity.

whatever you do, don't drink out of a staw or smoke, or you will get what is called dry socket.  that is so painful.\n\notherwise, stuff that doesn't require a lot of chewing.  its going to be up to you and what you feel like eating.  your mouth is going to hurt a lot, and youre not going to feel like eating or drinking much.  keep cool, not cold liquids in you.  soft stuff like pudding or jello.  stay away from anything red.  i say that in case you start bleeding, you'll know it.  if you eat/drink something red, you won't know if its blood or the jello in your saliva.\n\nhope it helps, and good luck.
