I am currently taking 4mg of subutex daily but I have impacted wisdom teeth that have been infected and are creating almost unbearable pain. I don t know what to do. The pain is so bad I can t sleep or eat or get through the day. I have some Vicodin and percocet but I haven t taken any because I read online that it won t do any good with the subutex in my system. Is there anything I can do?
Hello, I have read your problem, you are having problem because of wisdom tooth impaction. You have not mentioned site (RIGHT OR LEFT OR UPPER OR LOWER), I can imagine, it must be in lower tooth RT OR LT looking to the severity. Wisdom tooth is vestigial organ for our body, get rid of this tooth, it will not create any harm to your body. There is no need to put any artificial tooth in to that space, it is very difficult to clean that area also, assess of toothbrush is very difficult in that area. Because of lack of space in jaw during development, there will be no space left for wisdom tooth that is why problems occur with wisdom tooth. First go to the oral surgeon clinic and fix up your appointment for extraction of wisdom tooth. Oral surgeon will manage extraction under antibiotic, analgesic, trypsin,chymotrypsin, b-complex and antiseptic mouthwash coverage. After surgery, he will guide you management to bear pain and swelling part. Best of luck.
