Go see your dentist first thing in the morning.  If for some reason you can't get in to see a dentist in the morning, then head to the ER.

I know how you feel.  i've never had any wisdom teeth pulled...but everytime I open my mouth more than half way it pops.  pop pop pop pop etc.  I can do it over and over and over and over again.  It doesn't hurt, but it is annoying because it is loud and I just want to open my mouth like a normal person.  I never asked if it was normal or not...but as long as it doesn't hurt i'm sure it's fine.  Mine is so loud other people can hear it when i open my mouth up too far...if you find out what causes it let me know!  (i don't go to dentists cuz i don't have insurance)

There are so many possibilities, so you should definitely see a dentist first, and possibly a doctor.  One possibility is what's known as a sialolith- this is a hard calcification that builds up from saliva flowing through the submandibular gland.  Generally people who have this experience pain when eating (really, it's when you salivate a lot- i.e. when you're eating).  Treatment for this condition is excision (removal) by an oral surgeon.  Your dentist, oral pathologist or oral surgeon will be able to diagnose this and set you up with either a referral or appointment.  You should however get this checked out as soon as possible to rule out any sort of malignancy (although this would be a very atypical presentation of a malignant pathology)

Sounds like either you bit your cheek or a canker sore. Ouch. Go buy some orajel and put on it - help with the pain and will temporarily numb it.  I get those all the time. \nWait it out- It will go away in a week or so. If not then go see your dentist.

You know what really sucks about that, is that you don't know whether to go to a dentist or a doctor.  I had pain in that area for two years and spent thousands of dollars.  \n\nHonestly, I think, a combo of your sinuses, ear infection and perhaps your bite.  Go to a new dentist and get them to check your bite.  Then go get some ear drops.  Better yet, get some antibiotics if you can persuade your doctor.  He'll say, I can't see any evidence of an ear infection.  No, but beg him anyways.  At least get the ear drops from him.  Get some sinus spray from him too.  Get a sinus X-ray, although they are not accurate.  Sinuses can play a real havoc on your face and your jaw I think.\n\nSuck on a candy to relax your jaw and produce saliva.  It'll keep your teeth from hurting too maybe.

There are numbing products available over the counter.  ie Ora Gel, etc.  Ask your pharmacist, which is best.\n\nAlso, be sure to take Motrin.  It is the most effective pain killer for bone/teeth pain, that is available over the counter.  The idea about eating ice sounds good, too!  It will help soothe the inflammation.\n\nYou do need to get in touch with your dentist.  Maybe, he could call you in a prescription, that will do you...until you can get to his office.\n\nI really am sorry, that you are in pain.  I would definitely, get the numbing products and take the Motrin...at the same time.  It should, at least, take the edge off.

Dear Lillypetal,\nhi.. im a Dentist. the clenching U say u got is called Bruxism. did U get a filling done recently? it maybe cos a little extra filling material was put into the cavity(called a high point) its like a bump n u may subconsciously be trying to get your teeth to close well but aren able to.\nthis may sound stupid.. but when was the last time U went in for De worming medication....? u may require a course. ask your pharmacist. (ALBENDAZOLE)\nsomeone else suggested U get a guard that sports people use( such as football players or even boxers) u might want to try that.\ndo U have wax in your ears? if so then u need a clean up. use a wax dissolving liquid(ask for something with Paradichlorobenzene and benzocaine in it)\nif u got loads of problems on your mind n like U say u reallly need the sleep U could take 0.25mg of Alprazolam..its an anti anxiety drug. please don take on regular basis!\nYour cheek muscles(especially just below your ear) could hurt real bad when U wake up. try soaking a towel in warm water n applying in it.steamin could help too.\ntry chewing on some bubblegum.\nif facial muscle soreness is a problem U could have muscle spasm. in that case take an anti spasmodic(something U use for menstrual cramps show do just fine). donot take it if Ur facial muscles don feel sore.\ntry sucking on a lozenge.\nlastly this show help in some way or the other- follow religiously before U go to bed...brush teeth really wellusing the least amount of force U can(NOT TOO HARD!!). floss gently. see that teeth are squeaky clean.\nuse a good mouthwash(preferably something with CHLOREXHIDINE and ZINC) if not available. thorough warm salt water gargles should help.\ni have never seen U so i need U to make a decision as to what exactly is your problem.. thats why the long list of possible solutions.!\ntake care n really hope U get some sleep tonight.\nsweet dreams!

If you are in that much pain you dentist should have an emergency call number!! If not try a walk in clinic for a RX until you can get to see a dentist! Take blue's advice!!

Need to see a doctor first could just be a sinus infection, can cause serious pain and pressure in your teeth.

Sounds like you have a dry socket.  Since it's Sunday night, let me offer the following suggestion for tonight:\n\nBite on a moist piece of gauze exactly the way you did after your tooth was removed.  Keep changing the gauze as needed.  This will keep the air and saliva from getting in there and that is the cause of a lot of the pain.  You COULD get some benzocaine 20% (OraJel, etc) and put a dab on the gauze where it will touch the socket if plain gauze doesn't stop the pain.\n\nOf course, you already know that you need to see the dentist for proper treatment and best relief.

I just had my wisdom's out about 2 weeks ago. They STILL hurt a little bit! But yeah, at first I was taking the pain medicine basically to sleep. My dentist told me to take 3 advil liqui-gels ALONG WITH they  pain meds. Just make sure u have some food in your stomach, like a Slim Fast or some pudding is enough. That's all I could eat...that and mashed potatoes. Now, when I try to eat regular foods, it feels like my jaw is being ripped apart. I cannot open it very wide at all without some discomfort. They told me it was normal and it would go away.. OH YEAH, I also still have my blod clots..the gums are not healing over yet...I don't know when they are supposed to heal completely..I heard a co-worker say it took them 6 months to heal over!!!

if it hurts really bad you could have dry socket. it happens when you smoke or drink from a straw or basically suck anything too hard. you need to go back to your dentist, because it won;t just go away.

i don't know any solution for your pain but mabye a quick trip to the ER. Can you think of anything that you did that could have been a result of your possible dry socket? Hot food, drinking from a straw,smoking? The only thing you can do really is go to the emergency room and let them give you some pain meds and make sure your okay!

It might just be a canker sore. If you aren't in pain I wouldn't really worry about it, but if you are really concerned, then see your doctor.

if its spasms then take advil. If its tooth ache due to food, then go see your dentist. If its ache due to your third molars growing, you should go see ur dentist and have some x-rays. Maybe they arnt growing straight?

nip to the chemist and get some Oil Of Clove and some cotton buds. Rub some on the gum and tooth with the cotton bud. Then try not to touch it for a while. Some uber strength pain killers before hand will help you get through. I have managed two days like this before. Good luck mate.
