BROKEN WISDOM TEETH PAIN RELIEF CHELSEA
Emergency Dentist Chelsea provides wisdom tooth extraction, which can ease discomfort or pain in the jaw, when your wisdom teeth erupt. A number of adverse effects could necessitate the extraction of your wisdom teeth.
JAWS PAIN FROM WISDOM TEETH
The pressure from your erupting wisdom teeth may cause your other teeth to shift. This could lead to soreness, stiffness, and difficulty opening your jaw. Gum swelling in the back of the mouth or on either side of the jaw is another possible outcome.
INFECTION DUE TO WISDOM TEETH
Food particles, plaque, and other debris can become lodged in a wisdom tooth that has partially erupted, leading to gum inflammation, tooth decay, and the infection known as pericoronitis.
When bacteria from plaque, food , and other debris become embedded in the space between the gum line and the impacted tooth, it can lead to a condition called pericoronitis. If treatment for this infection is not received, it may spread to the throat or neck.
IMPACTS OF WISDOM TEETH
Two of the most obvious signs that you need your wisdom teeth extracted are pain and irritation at the tooth location and when you open your mouth. The wisdom teeth, which erupt in your mouth between the ages of 17 and 21, are the last to do so. They are therefore the most likely to be affected or enmeshed. They can enter the jaw displaced, slanted, or sideways, pushing against the teeth in front of them instead of straight, because there isn’t enough room in the mouth or jaw for them to emerge.
SIGNS AND UNCOMFORTABLE AREAS
The gum that covers an impacted tooth may swell and hurt when the tooth tries to erupt; this pain can be felt in the area on that side or in the teeth nearby. You might not even be aware that you have an impacted tooth because it can be painless.
DOES THE PAIN LAST FOR LONG?
The wisdom teeth pain may flare up for a few days, then subside for a few weeks or months before returning. But pain usually gets worse the longer it is left untreated.
PAIN RELIEF
Wisdom tooth pain relief and management include:
- Ice packs to reduce pain and swelling
- Over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen and paracetamol
- Rinsing your mouth with a mixture of salt and water: Mix one glass of water with two teaspoons of salt. This can help remove bacteria from your mouth that could be irritating and infecting your wisdom teeth.
- A fairly common dental procedure that offers a permanent remedy for wisdom tooth pain is wisdom tooth extraction.

PAIN FOLLOWING REMOVAL
It may take several days to feel fully recovered following the extraction of wisdom teeth. Following the procedure, some pain and discomfort are to be expected. The first few days are usually the worst because of this. Over-the-counter drugs such as paracetamol or ibuprofen are acceptable.
For a few days, in addition to some pain, you might also have swelling and stiffness in your jaw. As such, it might be difficult to open your mouth. You can reduce this by using a towel-covered ice pack!
