Rich with Kids Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 You can't see the next molar yet. She's not running a fever, so I don't think it's infected. She is putting something on it to numb it, but should I have her rinsing with an antiseptic wash? Warm salt water? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 You can't see the next molar yet. She's not running a fever, so I don't think it's infected. She is putting something on it to numb it, but should I have her rinsing with an antiseptic wash? Warm salt water? Thanks! When my dh and I had our wisdom teeth out (not at the same time!) we both used a warm salt water rinse. It certainly wouldn't hurt and might help some. I would also ask the doc/dentist if you could use some of that baby orajel to numb the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She rinsed with salt water earlier and I went and got some Peroxyl and we have her all numbed up with Orajel. I'll call the dentist in the a.m. I can't stand it when they hurt! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam Wilhelm Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Sounds like dry socket...... I've never had it, but I was warned about it when I had my wisdom teeth out and others also. The dentist will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lorna Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Yes, rinse with warm salty water as much as possible. We went to the dentist with something similar and this was what he prescribed. If it doesn't feel better in a couple of days see a dentist (or go straight away if you are worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
