My wisdom tooth on my upper left is coming through and it's definitely impacted - it feels like it's come through completely sideways. Every time I move my jaw it cuts into the side of my cheek. Was annoying but not a massive deal until this morning when the pain has ramped up and now can't open my jaw very far.
I'm waiting for the dentist to call me back, but does anyone have any tips on what I can do to help in the meantime? I'm assuming they'll have to remove it, but how do they do that if I can't open my mouth? Can they put me under to do it? I don't want to be conscious, I'm scared enough of the dentist as it is
