What else can I help you with?
8 months pregnant on Tylenol codeine for an impacted and infected wisdom tooth and still have severe pain what can I do?
Try heat and/or ice packs. Why hasn't your dentist pulled this tooth for you??? Should be easy I would think; talk to your Dr and dentist.
Can numbness in face and jaw and a burning tongue be caused by a wisdom tooth?
Yes. Although it is relatively rare, an impacted wisdom tooth could cause those symptoms. It is possible that the impacted tooth is impinging on a branch of the trigeminal nerve, which gives sensation to the jaw and tongue. A more serious condition would be a dentigerous cyst, which would also be associated with an impacted tooth. Your best course of actrion if you are experiencing these symptoms would be to consult with your dentist or an oral surgeon.

How common is an infection of a neighboring molar after impacted wisdom tooth extraction?
There are a number of potential causes of dental infection. Sometimes an impacted wisdom tooth can compromise the back root of the second molar. This would typically only be diagnosed after the wisdom tooth was extracted. The infected molar may not be related to the extraction. It may have had asymptomatic decay or periodontal disease before the impacted wisdom tooth was diagnosed and extracted. Usually, it is better to extract wisdom teeth prior to restoring or treating adjacent teeth because of the possiblility of damage or injury to the adjacent teeth during the extraction. While most dentists are very conscienteous and want to avoid complications in their procedures, complications do sometimes arise in spite of the dentist's best efforts. It is best to allow your dentist to manage these complications or refer you to a qualified specialist for treatment.

What can pregnant women take for severe wisdom tooth pain?
THE BEST THING TO TAKE is a trip to the dentist to have the "severely painful" wisdom tooth removed. I would think a localized shot of Novacaine would be much safer for your unborn baby, as opposed to taking ANY kind of pain killer orally. Plus, if your wisdom tooth is VERY painful, it's probably IMPACTED, so you could eat pain killers every day and it won't CURE it. It will only treat your symptoms (tooth pain), and will not get to the ROOT (get it?? root haha) of the problem. So please go see Dr. Happytooth as soon as possible. GOOD LUCK !
My wisdom tooth cracked but it is still in my mouth I would like to glue it together myself rather then go to a dentist what glue do you recommend I use?
