How long can I last without removing wisdom teeth?

[jawhurtybady]

My dentist told me a couple months ago that my wisdom teeth were coming in and would probably need to get removed. Fast forward a few months and there is now a dull but severe pain in my jaw (right side, and it's #s 1 and 32 that I have) and ear, especially when I chew. I'm assuming it's the teeth.

I couldn't get an appointment to get them out for another month. My question: is this pain going to just keep getting worse? Is there anything I can do?

I am planning on a trip abroad in the next few weeks, and really want to enjoy it. The removal should be right when I get back.

Can't really say without Xrays. If there's no decay, then you could chance leaving them till you come back, but keep them clean. How are you getting abroad during COVID? Are you vaccinated?
