Wisdom tooth
I have pain and swelling in the left side of my mouth since 3 days. I went to a dentist to get it checked. He told me it is due to an impacted wisdom tooth and to get it removed to solve the problem.
I do not want to get the Wisdom tooth removed. Everyone is saying that to take medicines until it gets fine. Is it alright to skip getting the wisdom teeth removed?
I am unable to sleep properly since last 3 days. At around 4-5 AM the pain becomes immense and I can't sleep thereafter. Any alternative to getting my Wisdom tooth removed?
