How to help wisdom tooth growing pain?

Having wisdom tooth pain means no golgappas or crispy tikkis for a few days, which is absolute torture! I survived on cold chocolate custard and smooth ice creams to numb the pain. It is the perfect excuse to eat dessert for dinner!

I can only share what worked for me when my lower wisdom teeth were erupting. I used to apply an ice pack on my cheek for 10 minutes to reduce the throbbing, and chewed very soft foods. Everyone's jaw structure is different, so a professional checkup is best.

Oh god, I remember when my wisdom tooth started pushing through, I got so anxious that it would ruin my front teeth alignment. Is your jaw also feeling super stiff? Try not to stress too much, just do warm salt rinses and get a dentist to look at it to ease your mind.

To cope with the jaw tension, practicing gentle pranayama like Shitali helps cool the body and calm the nervous system. You can also gently massage the outer jaw area with your fingertips. Please keep your system clean with simple satvik foods.

Instead of opting for expensive dental treatments immediately, get a basic dental X-ray done at a local diagnostic center first. It usually costs very little. Show that report to a government hospital dentist to get a highly affordable and correct treatment plan.

In our household, we always rinse the mouth with warm water mixed with a pinch of salt and turmeric to prevent any swelling. It keeps the area clean. However, if the pain spreads to your ear, you must go and consult a proper dental doctor.
