My wisdom tooth is growing sideways under the gums and pushing against my other teeth. The dentist recommended surgery for removal, but I'm wondering if homeopathy can help avoid surgery since the tooth isn't even visible. Are there any homeo treatments that might work for this?

While some may explore homeopathic options, for an impacted wisdom tooth causing issues like misalignment and pressure on other teeth, surgery is generally recommended as the most effective solution. Homeopathic treatments haven't been proven to be a reliable alternative for such dental problems.

It's been 3 days since I got my left upper and lower wisdom teeth removed, but my left temple keeps hurting nonstop and I can't sleep at night. Plus, the left side of my tongue still feels numb what's going on? Is this normal or should I be worried?

It's possible your symptoms are related to a few things after wisdom tooth removal, including a dry socket, nerve damage, or inflammation. While some pain and numbness are normal after surgery, severe or persistent pain, particularly in the temple, and a numb tongue lasting more than a few days warrant a call to your dentist or oral surgeon.
