If you are experiencing wisdom teeth pain you should make an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible. However, there are some things that you can do to reduce wisdom tooth pain:

  1. Ice can help to numb the area if it is applied carefully in the area where there is pain
  2. Ibuprofen can also help to reduce pain
  3. Salt water mouth rinse can also be effective. Dissolve 2 teaspoons of salt into a cup of warm water and rinse around your mouth. This can help to dislodge pieces of food that are trapped in and around your teeth and gums.

Ensure that you clean your teeth properly as trapped food can increase the pain from the wisdom tooth and also increase your chance of developing an infection.
