Ok, you REALLY need to see a dentist man...If you don't you could get infections in your jawbone that would cause complications that would require way more than you would ever have paid for insurance and the dentist....some dentists give free consultation even without insurance so check for one of those okay? , you don't want to have only 3 teeth at age 35.

You need to see a dentist ASAP. If you don't you could get an abcess and it could turn into quite a big infection. You can always make payments to the dentist and surgeon. Your health is most important.Good luck

You ABSOLUTELY need to get that tooth pulled ASAP. Having a gap between the tooth and the gumline is an open invitation for bacteria and food particles to get stuck in there. Before you know it, you'll have an abscessed tooth. With the tooth being so close to your tonsils, Eustachian tubes, and lymph nodes, any infection in the tooth can become disastrous. I would consult an endodontist (not a dentist) and see what they can do for you. They may be able to salvage the tooth, but it's always a good idea to get your wisdom teeth pulled!Best of luck!

Raks! Dont panic! your a growing lad suffering growing pains. You listen to your Uncle Tony ok, im from the UK and we know all about pain,afterall we invented the word. Now! You aint got toothache,its normal gum immflamation. Remedy stop telling lies??? Its a joke dude that was a joke! Pain killers and get a small bottle of oil of cloves. And rub a little at a time onto the gum.this will happen again, so be prepared!

you need to get to the dentistwe all have our wisdom teeth pulled usually.. and it sounds like your jsut getting yours or the gums are infected... the swelling of the gum over it should be a sign to get to the dentist.. sorry no insurances but maybe the dentist will work out a payment plan. and yes they hurt so bad..until their removed....and can cause the throat to hurt as well.... go to the dentist he may need to get ya some antibotics.... try suing some cold packs on that side off an on severla times a day and take some tylenol or ibprofen for the pain..'hugss an please get well soon

It sounds like your wisdom teeth are erupting. The swelling is "normal" especially if it's on both sides, but you should be checked by on oral surgeon , if you want the wisdom teeth removed, or dentist. I would definitely rinse with warm salt water and take an Advil or Tylenol to help with the discomfort. Also if your lower front teeth are feeling really tight or if they've moved this is a good sign you should probably have your wisdom teeth removed. Good Luck.
