My wisdom tooth is coming in and I don't have insurance yet:(

 Can anyone suggest anyways to relieve the pain or foods I can eat that don't hurt me? It seems like I have sensitive spots on both sides so chewing feels so painful!

 Really? So those work pretty good?

echinacea root/stem actually has a numbing effect if you can slightly chew on it, has medicinal properties as well.  I hope this helps.

teething tablets are awesome, the real ones used to have belladonna in them which is why they worked so well for so many things other than teething.

No suggestions, but if the pain is too bad you should see a dentist, insurance or not.

I think you could at least see a dentist. He may be able to give you a prescription for the pain, or possibly do something while you're waiting for your insurance, IMO, then put it through when you do get it.

I've used Cell Food in the past and it works.  However, it like $40 for a tiny bottle so it may not be worth it.

It took me 10 yrs to finally get mine out. They mostly caused me headaches and they would grow
A bit then stop. Then grow again and stop. I hope you figure it out hun.

If you try the clove oil, be sure and mix it with a carrier oil and only use a drop.  It will burn like fire otherwise.

An alternative to seeing a dentist is to look for a dental school/college in your area.  Sometimes they give dental treatments, performed by advanced students and supervised by instructors and charge much less than a regular dentist would. 

Good luck to you.  Tooth pain is awful.
