Having A Growing Wisdom Tooth Sucks!

A wisdom tooth grows in the back of our mouth and is the last adult teeth to come out. And I hate it! Who won't right?

Unfortunately, I'm currently suffering from the pain it gives off. When we had our dinner last night, I was so irritated because I badly wanted to eat a lot and feel every spoon I take. I didn't have my lunch that's why I'm so hungry to the point that I wanted to eat 3 served plates huhu. Anyways, I don't have a choice. Tried to chew the food at first but I can't really take it. As I munch, the swollen gum will reach the upper part so swallowing is my only best option. Our viand pancit canton with matching cabbage and salted fish with onions are so delicious that I feel so bad and jealous with the other family members. But I still tried to chew some slowly, making me space out. My mother then scolded me, "Try your best! Don't just stare there for nothing."

Actually, it was just slightly painful and uncomfortable the other day. I informed my mother about such last Saturday morning and she adviced me to just gargle a lukewarm water that is mixed with salt. But, I've decided to hand washed first my clothes from 11 am until 3 pm because the big basin is unfortunately full huhu. Thankfully, it wasn't that tiring though this time as I somehow enjoyed. Played some music while cheerfully washing them and took breaks whenever I started to feel worn out. Afterwards, I tried her advice and had a rest.

Hours passed, nothing happened. I've had my snack and chewed the bread on the left part where it is located but I stopped right away because it hurts. Yet, it started to swell and became more uncomfortable for me. This is the time when I can't speak rightly a little anymore and unable to eat a lot at dinner. When will this enddd? For the first time in a very long time, I never thought I'll still experience this. I've only had 2 toothaches ever since which was years ago so it feels like I've just experience this in my whole life. Grr, I can even feel the swollen gum everytime.

Felt so troubled, I went to Mr. Google and searched for home remedies for a growing wisdom tooth. I browsed the Medical News Today article since it's reviewed medically by Rooz Khosravi, DMD, PhD, MSD. Accordingly, the pain will just go on its own but there is still a necessity for either an active home or hospital treatment. Given that it will soon go anyway, we will just take the home treatments.

Below are only some of the options given that we can choose from and apply.

• Ice pack for the jaw to lessen inflammation.

• Saltwater rinse, like what I did.

• Putting clove on the painful part without chewing until the pain turns down then spit it afterwards.

• Chewing onion or putting teabags on the painful part.

These are the home treatments they've mentioned. Won't include the medical ones anymore but if you would like to know, just read it here. I hope these will be effective because it's driving me crazy for real. Have you experienced yours already? How about it? You can share some effective ways with me that aren't listed above, pretty please. I would be glad to hear from you.

That's all for today. Just drop your thoughts in the comment section below.

Thanks. Owe you big time!♡
