Wisdom Teeth and Pain Relief
Firstly, you can create your own special mouth wash by mixing a cup of warm water with a teaspoon of salt. You only need to gargle this for about a minute and then spit it out to start to feel the benefits of this naturally anti-septic mixture. If this doesn’t work, then you can use something called Benzocaine, which is a way to numb the gum area around the problem wisdom tooth. This is something that you can apply all the way through the day, so make sure that you keep it on you.
A slightly more natural approach to pain relief when it comes to wisdom teeth is cloves or clove oil. All you have to do is take a clove, place it on the spot in your mouth that is hurting, and gently close your mouth, keeping the clove in your mouth. Keep it there until you can’t feel your gums, and then remove it. You can use clove oil to rub into the area if that is more convenient.
If all else fails, you can always use standard pain relief tablets such as ibuprofen or paracetamol – but the important thing to remember is that these are not fixes. You still need to go and see your dentist Dr Paige Woods about the problem you’re having with your wisdom teeth. To reach Dr. Woods, call 619-359-6970.
There are many different reasons why you could be experiencing dental pain, and some of them are more common than others. Almost everyone will experience some sort of tooth decay during their lifetime, and many people will have infections from time to time – but it is wisdom tooth pain that is quite different, and you need to be able to distinguish when it is something small and insignificant, and when the pain is actually due to your wisdom teeth coming through. So what are the symptoms of wisdom teeth problems?
They’ve been hurting you for ages, and now it is finally time: your dentist has told you that it is time to take out your wisdom teeth. For many people, this is something that they look forward to in order to help them deal with the pain, but this sort of surgery and treatment plan can also be a little bit intimidating. It is hard to know what to expect unless you have had a wisdom tooth removed already. We spoke to dentist Dr Paige Woods about what people usually go through when they have a wisdom tooth out.
Having a tooth extracted is no small task, and that only gets more complicated and impressive when it is a wisdom tooth that you are losing. You’ll probably want to get back into your normal life as soon as you have had the surgery, but in many cases that is simply not possible. The recovery that you need to be thinking about after wisdom tooth surgery is a little more complex than that, as dentist Dr Paige Woods explained to us.
