How to treat pain in horizontally impacted wisdom tooth?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have a horizontally impacted wisdom tooth. I have an appointment to get them removed. But I started getting pain in the lower left base of my head. I think my tooth has gotten infected. I could see right into my lower left wisdom tooth, and I am keeping it as clean as possible with brushing and a salt water gargle.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern regarding dental health.

The occurrence of pain is very common in an impacted wisdom tooth. That is very good that you are keeping it clean as much as possible in multiple ways. But, if your pain is too much, then go for the dosage of antibiotics and analgesics under the prescription of your dentist, only to relieve the pain and inflammation.

Hope this information will be helpful to resolve your query, and further queries are always welcome.

I would like to answer them.

Thank you.
