please help, wisdom tooth pain!

I have a wisdom tooth coming in (Im pretty sure?) My gum is swollen and it hurts soo MUCH, does anyone have any kind of suggestion whatso ever that will numb the pain, any totkay even.I don’t know if tylenol will work as the pain comes more when my tongue touches my gum
ps. Im supposed to be going on vacation soon so I have no time to go see a dentist
I hope to god this doesnot ruin my vacation

Re: please help, wisdom tooth pain!

It can last for a bit, sorry to tell you. Alot of people told me different totkays like keeping a laung near the gums, drinking honey+water, etc etc but nothing really works. The tooth will continue to hurt and the only thing that might help a bit is a pain killer. I would really suggest for you to see a dentist especially if you're going off to vacations.

legallydesi, i would also recommend going to see a dentist before you leave for vacation. you dont want to be miserable throughout the entire time, trust me i know :( Try taking motrin and if that doesnt work maybe the dentist can prescribe something else.

^ Exactly.

ALso, try an oral anesthetic by Orajel. You can get it at Walmart, or any pharmacy. It's in liquid form in a small bottle. Apply on the tooth/gum area with an earbud. It really helps.
