How to reduce wisdom tooth pain?

I am in my early 30s, and recently, my tooth at the back has really started to hurt. I havenā€™t gone to the dentist yet, as the pain comes and goes. I am afraid itā€™s the wisdom tooth coming, and if I visit the dentist, he might ask me to get the tooth removed. Please suggest what I can do to reduce the pain.

Dear Reader,

Pain in wisdom tooth can be due to:

  1. Inflammation in the soft tissues surrounding the tooth (pericoronitis)
  2. Cavity or infection in the wisdom tooth
  3. Pain due to food lodgment and gum infection
  4. Pain in adjacent tooth due to the damage caused by wisdom tooth

Remedies for wisdom tooth pain:

  1. Cold compress
  2. Avoid chewing from the affected side

However, I strongly advise against attempting any home remedies to alleviate wisdom tooth pain. Your best course of action is to consult a dentist as soon as possible. Remember, professional care is the most effective way to manage dental issues.Ā 

Your dentist will examine the condition and suggest the best possible treatment option.Ā 

Delay in seeking treatment may worsen the condition. Hope this helps!
