I got a wisdom tooth coming in and my face is slightly swollen.?

Question

Yes, i've been to the doctor and i told them it would be fine if they wanted to rip it out right then and there but they thought that doing that would be quite unnecessary since they seem to be coming out nice and streight but that doesn't take away from the fact that the right side of my face is slightly swollen and it hurts like a son of a ***** and i got school tomorrow, ive been swollen for 2 days now and it hasn't gone down, how long will this last because i'd hate to look like a d**n hampster tomorrow xD

Answer 1

You should definitely see a dentist. If you want the tooth (or teeth) removed, they should not keep you from doing so. Wisdom teeth are not needed, and at times can actually make crowding or pain a more serious problem. Chances are that it might be abcessed (infected) and this is causing much pain. When those teeth come in, it's very easy for food to get caught down there, so make sure that you rinse each time you eat, even if it is with water at school. At home I would use a mouthwash with alcohol to help keep clear of bacteria in there. Try to take good care of that back there, as they do tend to get infected often if you don't.

Like I said, I would consider seeing a dentist, or a new one if you already have. Until then - rinse rinse rinse, lol. It really is the best thing for it.

Edit: Well then next time don't come here asking others for help if you aren't going to listen. I only told you what I have learned from experience, because mine have come in impacted and sideways, and thought the information might be useful. Considering i'm the only person who answer your d**n question in the first place, you should be thankful instead of disrespectful.
