When a wisdom tooth starts spurting out of your mouth, it is usually a very painful experience.
Although people would come to consider it as just a stage that people go through in their growing up processes, sometimes the pain can be really unbearable.
In some cases, it is a better choice to remove your wisdom tooth when it causes jaw stiffness or pain that's too intense to manage.
In very rare cases, infection sets in and you have a huge problem on your hands.
When you are in this stage and you really just can't bear the pain what can you do to contain it? If you don't like to have surgery to remove it, you may feel like your options are dramatically limited.
But does that mean that there are no non-intrusive methods to relieve the pain you're feeling? Of course not! Here are a few things you can try when the pain becomes too much: *Brush your teeth: The food particles stuck in the crevices of your teeth usually work to increase the pain being felt by the sufferer.
Not only does toothpaste contain ingredients that numb the pain of a growing wisdom tooth, it also helps to kill bacteria that can cause serious infections when left alone.
*Warm water with salt: A good way to reduce pain is to gargle with warm salted water.
Salt toughens the gums, draws out infection, and reduces swelling.
This works best with over the counter medication.
*Suck in air: Before a tooth extraction, dentists use a dental filing procedure to dry out the tooth, making the nerves in the pulp become less sensitive to pain.
You can replicate the process with a straw.
Just put the drinking straw in your mouth.
And use your tongue to position it correctly then suck in air.
