Wisdom teeth or infected tooth?
My husband has been complaining about pain in his mouth for the last several days. It's been so bad he hasn't been able to sleep through the night. He told me black stuff came off of it (I say maybe it's rotten or something because he used to be bad about brushing his teeth before we met, and he doesn't floss!) but he thinks it's his wisdom teeth finally coming in (He's almost 25!!) I just got home from work and that side of his cheek is swollen and very hot to the touch. I don't think it's wisdom teeth, I think it's an infection. Hopefully we can make it to the dentist tomorrow but does anyone have any advice or ideas? Thanks!
Wisdom teeth or infected tooth?
It's probably infected. Black stuff comming out from "anywhere" but the ground is usually not a good sign.
If it hurts and it's hot and swollen also are indicators of an infection.
Get him to a dentist asap.
Wisdom teeth or infected tooth?
err that sounds like an infection...
Other Replys:Infection. If its this bad you may give him some Anbesol which is topical and some Advil or Tylenol. Twenty-Five is a bit too old to get wisdom teeth. "Wisdom teeth are the third molars that usually appear between the ages of 16 and 24. " So unless he's a very late bloomer. Also the black comment makes me say infection. I currently have my wisdom teeth coming in there annoying but not as you describe. They come in very gradually.
