Extreme Pain from Cavity in Wisdom Tooth. Been waiting 3 weeks to get them out, 1 week to go. PAIN!
Hello.
I am 23 years old with an anxiety and panic disorder which results in me having an extreme fear of the dentist. I barely ever go. I hate to admit it but I don’t brush my teeth regularly either. Recently I was having sharp pain in my lower right side of my mouth and went to the dentist to find out I have a cavity in my wisdom tooth on the upper right side and the pain is radiating to my lower right side and in particular i’m getting severe and i mean SEVERE pain on my lower right side canine tooth from the cavity in the wisdom. I also have two impacted wisdom teeth on both lower sides. I’ve basically been in pain for months until I finally got to see an oral surgeon and make a date to get my infected teeth out. I’ve been on clindamycin for about a month but it does nothing for my pain and I’ve been taking Advil a lot which also worries me because I don’t want to get a stomach ulcer or bleeding. I am getting my wisdom teeth out a week from today and tonight the pain got super severe again. I took medicine but the pain is still there even with using an ice pack and heat. What can I do to hold myself over until the surgery?
