Tooth pain is something that no one on this planet likes.
It is one of the most uncomfortable things in the world.
If you have been there before then you know what I am talking about.
Wisdom teeth pain can be particularly excruciating and it is a pain that must not be ignored.
Let us look at what you should do about your sensitive teeth and the pain that you are feeling because of them.
First of all, get on the phone and schedule an appointment with your dentist.
If you do not have a dentist, a quick search online in your area will likely turn up a number of good ones.
You can often read reviews online these days about the dentists in your area and then you can schedule an appointment for an exam.
This really is the first thing you should do.
If the dentist is not open or you are not able to get an appointment very soon then you may want to go to the local store and pick up some pain-numbing ointment (like Oragel or other related brand) so that you won't have to endure as much pain before your dental appointment.
These numbing gels can be a lifesaver if your pain is severe enough.
What about other painkillers? There are some great over-the-counter painkillers that are available that could also help you before your coming dental appointment.
These include Tylenol, Tylenol extra-strength, aspirin and other types of orally ingested painkillers.
These painkillers can definitely help you to sleep better at night and keep the pain at bay until you are able to have your teeth looked at by the dentist.
What should you have done before getting the pain? The best thing, of course, is prevention.
Brushing your teeth multiple times per day is always a good idea, though not always practical depending on your schedule.
Having a regular doctor's appointment and regular teeth cleaning appointment 1-2 times per year is always a good idea.
It is the right place to start.
What else could be causing wisdom teeth pain? Wisdom teeth sometimes need to be extracted because they are not growing properly in the mouth.
This is a common issue and might be the cause of the pain that you are having.
The best bet is still to seek the counsel of the dentist and he or she will let you know whether it is going to be best to have your wisdom tooth/teeth pulled out.
Don't worry though, it is a common procedure that dentists take care of all the time.
