how to make wisdom teeth swelling go down overnight
Hey Dad, I think my wisdom teeth are coming in. The swelling is really uncomfortable. Any advice?
Sorry to hear that, Kiddo. Wisdom teeth can be a pain, literally. There are a few things you can try to reduce the swelling.
Like what, Dad? I need relief pretty quick as I have a date with Peter tomorrow.
That Parker boy again, huh? Alright. Firstly, rinse your mouth with warm saltwater several times a day. It might not taste great, but it's effective. And apply a cold pack on the outside of your cheek for 15 minutes at a time.
Sounds doable. Anything else that might help?
Yes, you can also take over-the-counter pain relievers. Just make sure you're not allergic to them. And try to get plenty of rest. Your body heals better when you're well-rested. Lastly, if the pain persists, you should see a dentist.
