My wisdom teeth have started to come through, but have grown into my molars (an erupted impaction). I am in heaps and heaps of pain, and need to have them removed. One problem being that where I live, there isn't a dentist I can register with for about a 20 mile radius, and I dont drive. The pain is stopping me sleeping. Is there any way I can get them removed without being registered at a dentist (no crazy answers, like tying string round them!!) I have attended the local emergency dentist a few times, but they will only provide temporary measures. I really need help with this. Thanks
PLease help me with my wisdom teeth!!?
If you really can't find a dentist go to your docs and ask them to refer you to the orthodontic dept at your local hosp. Many dentists won't take wisdom teeth out in their surgeries and refer you anyway. That's what happened with me, I had all 4 teeth taken out at once, no probs.
Reply:find the tel no for your local health authority and ask them. I have every sympathy cos I have toothache at the mo and I have a dentist!!!
Reply:you serously need to see a dentist!!!!!!!!! take the bus or something!
Reply:Do you leave in complete isolation or are there neighbors around whom you can call to take you? Do you have a family member who can pick you up? Is there a taxi or shuttle you can take? (Even if they normally service out of the town you are going to, they should still be able to come pick you up for an extra fee) You really should not do it yourself because there are many many things that can go wrong and make things even worse. You need to find some way to get to a dentist. You could also try calling a dentist office or hospital and see what they recommend.
Reply:I don't have a dentist either and when i was having problems with my wisdom tooth i went to the local dental hospital, who gave me antibiotics and put me on the waiting list to have it out. Less than 6 months later I am one tooth down!!
But be prepared it hurts like hell for days and can cause problems with opening your mouth! But having said that a month later and I'm almost back to normal!!!
good luck! you have my sympathy!!

Reply:you go to your local casualty department and tell them you need it sorted. I doubt many dentists would tackle your wisdom teeth anyway if they are impacted. You need to be referred for an operation to sort them out.
