Get them pulled (?)

They don't have to be fully grown in order for a dentist to yank them.

I would make an appointment to see the doctor about when you should get them taken out, I just did a few weeks ago and I'm glad I got it over with!

To help with the pain eat popsicles or take some advil, even chewing on some of the teething rings made for babies helps sometime!

Good luck!

You can get some Oral Gel

My roommate used it this school year before she got her teeth pulled and she says it works great! Maybe not maximum strength.. see what your parents say about that

But you really should go to your dentist and get their opinion you may need to get them pulled =/

I had mine pulled before they were even coming through the gum. also, why not try icing it?

thanks for all your advice. i have been using ice and gel. they work good. except i kinda swallow the gel, and it dosent taste that great and kinda numbs my mouth which makes it hard to eat and drink properly, except its hard to eat anyway with the pain and that. but i am going to the dentist soon. hopefully get them pulled out.. does that hurt?

Ella,

I'm not too sure if it hurts, mine were all impacted (meaning they came in at odd angles and pressed against other teeth), so mine had to be cut out. Also on top of that, freezing doesn't take with me, so they put me under general anesthetic for my wisdom teeth removal. And I got this thing called dry sockets, where the blood clots came out from inside the holes in my gums and the nerves were exposed. So I'm one end of the spectrum, but I'm sure if your just have to be pulled out then it won't be any more painful than the after math of a regular tooth removal?

That's what Advil and Tylenol is for though

if they are through you should get them pulled if not get them cut out. Go see your dentist because in some people they can cause problems.
