New Wisdom tooth, new infection. Dang. Help?!
Question: New Wisdom tooth, new infection. Dang. Help?
Hi. My second wisdom tooth started coming in and like my first one, I think it's either plain ol' sore or a little infected around the gum area. Last time I was put on antibiotics as I won't be able to afford an extraction until I've finished college, but the antibiotics make me very sick elsewhere. :/
Is there any other home remedy (like a salt solution or something) to help keep it at bay until I can get either an extraction or until it becomes necessary to sacrifice my sanity and go on antibiotics?
Thanks!

Answers:
night time brushing before going to sleep and warm salt water rinses after brushing will help to clean the gums and avoid pain and swelling in the area.
