my wisdom tooth is driving me mad,its been partially through for a good few years but just lately seems to be coming through more and at the moment my gum is very very tender(think its pushing it)
my dentist reffered me to hospital,im just hoping they can do something

I think its done bad ! Sounds like you have an infection ..

dont say that,i thought it was pushing through as more of tooth is showing now,only hurts when i catch my gum

I am not a dentist ...Janine but with your tender gum and all..

belive it or not I have a very small bottom jaw...(big gob ) and my widsom teeth grew sideways pushing in to the molers sending them bad...had them all removed ....dont worry they will sort you and atthe hospital they seem to be students so very attentive..lol

Ouch..... having had 4 of my 5 wisdom teeth removed (yes I know I am odd) I understand your pain!

I hope they sort it for you soon...... and the only remedy if they remove it for the pain that you will have afterwards is ALCOHOL!! Trust me nothing else touches it!

Pink morning hun xxx I was trying not to mention the pain and gently ease Janine into the fact she may need treatment .......I have had my removed and I would rather go through labour and child birth drugfree...lol

i have had 2 out at dentist already,but dentist refered me this time,i think mainly cos its only partially out,they can take it out i dont want it lol

Hi Janine
Have you got any Corsodyl? If not, go and get some. Corsodyl mouthwash or gel is the best. It is an antibacterial which is perfect for erupting wisdom teeth. It also has a slight numbing effect. If you get the gel you can rub it gently into the swollen gum. Don't use it for more than a week at a time, as it can stain the teeth.

Failing that, rinse with a cup of warm salt water. 1 teaspoon in a cup of warm water. Do that about 4 times a day.

The reason for the tender gum is that small particles of food get under the flap of gum and cause inflammation.

i bought some bonjela,i can see where its trying to push up .ive had both my top 1s out this is bottom 1,i havnt got other bottom 1 at all..........

really feel for you jannie nasty little blighters hope you get it sorted only cure i know is holding your head under water for 3 hours reliveve all pain. NOT RECOMENDED , BUT HAVE BEEN THERE XX

Try holding whiskey in your mouth and occasionally swallowing it - seriously it does help kill the pain although you may end up with a headache!

been hospital today,taking wisdom tooth out next year,will have to cut the gum eek

Poor you, having to wait all that while to get some relief.
