Wisdom tooth pain
I have wisdom tooth pain and swelling from inside cheek, please let me know how it will be healed and how much time it will take
Good afternoon Dear
Thanks for the query
As per your words you are having pain n swelling because of wisdom tooth..
I advise you to go to your dentist and get it checked and get x ray same area, if your tooth is coming out in right direction just do warm sline gargles and if not than go according to your dentist advice.
Immediate home remedy is take any pain killer and do warm saline gargles.
