Best Ways of Dealing with Pain after Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth can be very painful as they come through. Here are some great techniques for dealing with wisdom teeth pain.

Gargle with Salt Water for Wisdom Teeth Pain

While you wait to see your dentist, gargling & swilling your mouth with sea salt water - just mix sea salt or plain table salt with warm water and rinse around is a very effective treatment. Salt is a natural antiseptic and this will help with the pain.

Clove Oil for Wisdom Tooth Pain

Clove oil works great too for wisdom teeth. Just use a dropper and put a couple of drops of clove oil on the erupting tooth.

If all else fails you can try OTC pain medication. Acetaminophen helps relieve the pain and swelling associated with emerging wisdom teeth. You can also get oral numbing gels at the pharmacy.

Gargling with disprin - a type of dissolvable asprin is also effective at providing topical relief.
