Tooth pain
My daughter went to a dentist for tooth pain. The pain is there only while chewing food. So after check up the doctor advised for wisdom tooth removal. But since she is in hostel, she does not want to remove it now and will do it once she comes home after a month. Is it okay to wait until then ? Also, the doctor did not give any pain medication. Can she take pain medication for wisdom tooth ache?
