My wisdom teeth bother me on and off with some swelling. Now it’s a lot worse. In fact, I haven’t been able to eat for two days. I’m miserable. \u00a0It’s normally better by now. Do I need to\u00a0do anything?<\/p>\n

Sylvia – Connecticut<\/p>\n

Sylvia,<\/p>\n

My suspicion is you aren’t under the regular care of a dentist. When there is recurrent pain, such as you described, a dentist generally recommends you have the wisdom teeth removed. Recurring swelling is an indication there’s a problem. Your wisdom teeth can blow up into a serious infection in no time and then you can have a huge problem on your hands. In fact, I think you’re there now.<\/p>\n

Tooth infections spread and can become life threatening. I’d like you to see an emergency dentist<\/a>. They’ll evaluate your wisdom teeth and see if it’s infected.<\/p>\n

I’m concerned with the fact that you can’t eat. I wouldn’t be surprised if you woke up with your face swollen in a day or so.<\/p>\n

Please don’t put this off. If you’re someone who suffers from dental anxiety<\/a>, I don’t want you to feel cornered or to allow it to keep you from the dentist. There are emergency dentists who offer sedation dentistry<\/a>. You can get your wisdom teeth examined and even extracted completely pain free.<\/p>\n
