[|Human|] I went to the dentist today because the gums surrounding my partially grown in wisdom tooth (bottom left) is very inflamed, in fact, my entire lower left jaw is in pain! He said there was no sign of infection and removed the wisdom tooth directly above the offending tooth because he said it was crushing the gum flap causing it to become inflamed. He did not prescribe antibiotics and told me to continue taking 800mg of ibuprofen rinsing with warm salt water and peroxide. How long can I expect my lower jaw to remain in pain before I go back to the dentist or elsewhere? I am miserable!
[|AI|]  Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. Wisdom tooth extraction takes time to heal. Here I would like to suggest you, to revisit your dentist, and get the lower wisdom tooth re examined. The cause for pain and infection is the lower wisdom tooth and not the upper one. Yes, this is true that if the above tooth causes continuous pressure and irritation to the lower tissue over the tooth, than it is better to extract that tooth. So presently two things are essential to overcome pain. One is please start a course of antibiotics soon upon consultation, and secondly get the lower wisdom tooth extracted too. Hope I have explained to you the cause and remedy too. Thanks. Take care.
