I have a few problems. The first I have had for many months, my bottom left wisdom tooth has come in, but didnt come all the way out. It allows food to get under the gums and get infected, its pusses alot. The second problem is my bottom and top back molars are turning black and starting to hurt, despite good brushing. My wisdom teeth are also coming in right behind both of those teeth. What can I do with no insurance? Im in pain everyday.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain and infection could be because of the gum infection over the wisdom tooth (periodontal infection leading to space infection). The disc oration can be secondary to the decay. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed. If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed. If I am your treating doctor, Meanwhile I would have prescribed a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
