Have your wisdom teeth extracted.
Have it removed
Please see your dentist ASAP. You may need an antibiotic, and oftentimes the tooth may need to be extracted.

Rinse with warm salt water and keep it clean. See a Dentist As soon as possible to get pain medication and antibiotics and have the tooth extracted .
An extraction will obviously eliminate the problem, a prescription of antibiotics and pain medication or non steroidal antinflamatory meds.
See your dentist to determine what type of problem you are having with your wisdom tooth and if indicated for removal. if your dentist feels the wisdom tooth is indicated for removal and does not perform extractions, he or she can refer you to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
When was the last time you saw your dentist?? I would recommend visiting them so they can evaluate you radiographically and clinically. Evolutionarily, wisdom teeth do not serve a purpose and only cause more problems as we age. Most children are recommended to have their wisdom teeth removed at an early age to avoid any issues in the future
You certainly need to see a dentist immediately and not risk the spreading of the infection.
Hello,
I recommend you go see your nearest dentist to examine/take images of the teeth that are giving you discomfort. From there, the dentist will decide if they will treat it or send a referral to a specialist (an oral surgeon in this case).
Hope this helps!

Hi, I recommend that you see your general dentist to triage or straight to an oral surgeon.
Make an appointment with a dentist or oral surgeon ASAP and address the cause of the pain. Pain medications would just be masking what could be a potentially life threatening infection.
