My right buttom wisdom tooth is killing me. I cannot open my mouth enough to put a finger in, and I cannot bite down either. Here's the question: Do I let them cut my cheek open to pull it out or do I live with the pain and hope it goes away? I'm fairly attractive (and vain) and I like my face.

Dude, go to the dentist !!

Until you get there, try whisky (very small amounts 😵) on the tooth, via cotton bud if you can't open wide....if you can stand the smell/taste, clove oil will also give some releif.

I've been to the dentist. It didn't help. I'm going again later today.

Here is something I try when I have a pain, poke at it and make it hurt more then normal.
The logic behind this is that, although it hurts alot for a short time, when it goes back to how it was initially it wont be so bad really.

Septicaemia (directly resulting from infected teeth) has commonly been known to cause death....

my grandmother had the last of her teeth removed in 1977, she then became very ill from it, and never fully recovered, dying 4 months later.

Dude get your tooth taken out, don't wait!

whisky is for drinking - drink large amounts and the pain will go away (or you will care less at least lol) - do not waste the whisky rubbing it on a tooth lol

the clove oil will work for pain relief though (if you can handle the god-awful taste)
