Im getting wisdom teeth on the lower jaws. The one coming on the left is giving me throbbing pain. Ive been put on Novaclox-LB and Ketorol-DT. Dcotor says well have the extract the left wisdon tooth if the position is not straight. Its not known yet but hell do x-ray on monday. I dont want to go through that pain. Is there any other alternate to it?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. An x-ray of the impacted wisdom tooth is necessary to plan the treatment. Based on the x-ray, your dentist can decide the treatment. If tooth is positioned, it has to be extracted, if left untreated infection can spread into periapical area as well as into sinuses. No need to be panic, as the procedure is done under local anesthesia. Hope this helps.
