I have impacted wisdom tooth
I have impacted wisdom tooth left bottom side its paining since 4-5 days. I'm rinsing my mouth twice or thrice daily with saline water and applying Hexigel ointment there. The pain reduces for few hours but not getting permanent releif. The left cheek area where the impacted wisdom tooth is present has also become slightly swollen hence while chewing food the cheek bite is giving more pain each time I eat anything. I request doctors here to please guide when will the tooth erupt completely? Last year wisdom tooth on right side pained me in same fashion.. it took nearly 1 year to fully erupt.. can i consume antibiotic O2 medicine for 5 days twice daily? Will that help reduce the pain?
What to do if I cannot visit a dentist? please suggest..
Regards...

In many cases impacted wisdom teeth must be sacrificed to prevent further damage to adjacent tissues like gums, bone or other teeth..
