My Wisdom Tooth Is Causing Me Agony And Painkillers Aren’t Working. What Should I Do?

December 16th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Dunn, I hope you can help me. I’m 17 years old and my wisdom teeth are coming through and have been for around six months now. They’re incredibly painful and causing me so much discomfort I can’t stand it anymore! It’s really affecting my whole life as I don’t want to go out because of the pain I’m in and it’s no use taking pain medication because it doesn’t work! Can you give me any advice on how to deal with them?! Thank you for your advice.

Have I Got Gum Disease?

February 12th, 2013
Q.

hello there dr Dunn i hope you can help me. I have for the past 3-4 months been suffering with a pain at the back of my mouth that has got progressively worse as time has gone to the point where it hurts all the time now, and I’m having difficulty eating as its so sore. There’s also a nasty taste in my mouth. Is this a sign of gum disease? I have looked at my gums and they dont look red and they arent sore but something is making my whole mouth hurt. Can you explain this for me. Thanks,

A.

The gums around my wisdom teeth are looser than my other gums, is this normal?

December 23rd, 2011
Q.

hello doctor

I was just wondering if you could help me. I have noticed that the gums at the very back of my mouth aren’t completely attached to my teeth. To be honest i do have wisdom teeth there, so i don’t know whether I am over-reacting or anything, but i just though it would be best to get the opinion of an expert such as yourself.

Do you think i have anything to worry about?

many thanks

I have scars that disappear and reappear after surgery, are any of these problems gum disease associated?

November 2nd, 2011
Q.

I have scars on my gums lower jaw(left) as a result of surgical wisdom teeth extraction. They keep on appearing and disappearing. It usually happens when my lower lip starts twicthing involuntarily.(Same sidea) I wasput on various neuropathic drugs such as lyrica,neuorotin,cymbalta,tegretol, celebrax. Duregesic patches, rivotril,tegrotol and so many others but nothing seem to ease the pain. It satarted in 2007 up to now. I used kelannog to apply but I only get temporal relief. I underwent all blood tests from aids to oral cancern, nothing came positive. Am not diabetic, a bit hypertensive due to those drugs but not chronic.
