should I have to remove my wisdom teeth?
Hi!With a problem of toothache on my upper left wisdom teeth, I went to see the Dentist. He told me that my wisdom teeth was slight broken and infected as well and suggested me to go to Dental Surgeon to remove it. As i have to travel and have to writeup my thesis, I would like to have any alternatives that can remove it at least for 3 months; for which he replied that RCT is the only option but will not remove the infection completely; may help for fewdays-months.I aggreed for that as I have done one RCT in my right wisdom teeth 2 years ago in Nepal; whcih is till now in good condition.
I did RCT a week ago, which he said is not complete one and filled temperorarily too. But after a day, I have a pain on my left cheek and surrounding the teeth, but not on that tooth. Since he has neither provided me antibiotics nor painkiller, I took my self ibuprofen 200mg to reduce pain. But after twodays, now my knee has started pain like sprain; so I stopped to take it. Till now I feel pain which comes and go and it is not persistent one.
is it necessary to remove my wisdom teeth? or do I have to see my Dentist again? Please help me on to remove my pain. is ibuprofen is bad for knee?

Anton--it makes much more sense to have a dentist or oral surgeon look at it than to ask someone to diagnose it over the internet. it sounds tooth related but it may not be. it needs to be personally evaluated by a dentist.
Sorry I am posting here, I have given up hope on posting a real question because system always says limit reached. I appreciate the response.
Thank you in advance for the answer to my question.
Recently I noticed a lump in the inner lower gum, underneath the third molar on the right side (as seen from my "point of view". It could be the second molar as on both lower gums one tooth had been extracted from each, and they seem to travel.) The lump has the following qualities: it seems to roll a bit under the skin when probed (skin is relatively loosened over it); normally it is painless but it is a little painful when pushed; and it is maybe about up to 1 cm in diameter, although that is hard to determine, could be less. It resides inside and on the side of the gum and protrudes some so it is detectable with the tongue. The tooth, below which the lump is, has a silver filling but has been slowly falling apart, although there is still enough left to securely hold the filling in place.
The lump is in the lower third to middle portion of the lower gum, and the mouth floor is not much lower.
On the other side of the lower gum, also in a similar location that seems to be below the third molar, is something that appears to be a small, almost immovable lump, harder than the one on the right. It is more securely fastened to the gum and is smaller. However, it is possible to tell that it would also roll under the skin if the skin were a bit more loose there.
On that, left side of the mouth I have a wisdom tooth that needs extracting and I have what I assume to be an enlarged lymph node in my ear due to that.
I was wondering if you could give me some pointers on what the right-hand-side gum lump could be. I am thinking that since there is also something on the left-hand-side, that it may be a lymph node that is acting due to the slow falling-apart of the tooth above it, but I am not sure. My attempts to find out information about lymph nodes in the mouth, and more particularly in the gums, produced no success online.
I am not a smoker or drinker. I had a negative brain CT scan done about 6 months ago and some X-rays for dental work at various times prior to that. That's all as far as my radiation exposure for the head area.
I am familiar with the normal process for investigations into these things: an X-ray, then a biopsy, but i don't want to get any more X-rays than i've already had unless it is indicated.
I am a bit worried that it may be something more serious than an enlarged lymph node.
Thank you for your reply.

My suggestion is that you get the wisdom teeth extracted.
