In most cases when there is extreme pain associated with a wisdom tooth, the dentist will recommend extraction. However there are times when extraction is not suggested and then you have to get rid of wisdom tooth pain on your own.
In order to get rid of wisdom tooth pain there are some simple things that you can do at home without having to visit a dentist.
One of the simple, yet effective ways to get rid of wisdom tooth pain is to suck in air, similar to a dentist blowing in air before a surgery. The air will dry out the tooth so that the nerves are less sensitive.
Another way to get rid of wisdom tooth pain is to use cold water or hot water, whichever works for you. Remember not to use icy cold or boiling hot water. The water should be swirled around in the mouth for a few seconds and spat out. The cold water can help to get rid of wisdom tooth pain, and in case your teeth are cold sensitive, hot water will do the same as well as take care of any pus.
A similar way to get rid of wisdom tooth pain is to gargle with hot water and salt. The salt acts as a disinfectant and reduces swelling.
Brushing your teeth to remove any particles of food stuck in the crevices also helps get rid of wisdom tooth pain.
Finally, all of the above will help get rid of wisdom tooth pain if they are accompanied by over the counter painkillers like ibuprofen etc.
