Ouch guys I need advice please. My wisdom tooth is out of nowhere.

The tooth itself doesnt hurt but I tend to bite on my (inside of my) cheeks and it has created an ulcer which hurts.

My exam is 2 week away, there's no way I can get it pulled out. What would you do in my situation? Is there a way to stop the ulcer which anything OTC? I dont really want to put anbesol or the like because it ll last a few minutes. But anyway to heal the ulcer?

Right now, I place a cotton between the teeth so that I can stop biting on it. So once I can get it healed I ll continue to put the cotton so that I dont get the ulcer again..

thanks guys! panic mode to the :scared:
 
get lidocaine jelly and apply it constantly (otc is around 2% so not that strong, so you'll literally have to apply alot), unless you can get your FP to prescribe you codeine (good chance he might if you tell him your going for step 1 soon).

Ulcer healing would take time, best solution is pain relief..
 
I use the cotton as well, though it gets annoying. This happens to me a la MS (remitting-relapsing lol) and it freaking sucks. I second using Lidocaine gel, it helps and keeps it numb for a good while.

lol @ MS ... actually with all my lip biting from nervousness, im confused which one was the real one.. I cant really eat because of it, hey but I cant study when I eat anyway! i ll give the lido a try.
I ll have cotton under my teeth hopefully they don't think its gum.."Well, its cotton candy and it will melt"..

Anyway I just hope it doesn't get worse.

Best of luck buddy. I know exactly what you're talking about and how absolutely horribly painful it is.
