Teething

At the ripe old age of 22, I am teething. A wisdom tooth that I thought was done coming in is clearly not, and is now cutting into my gums painfully. The whole right side of my mouth/jaw/head is being affected -- trouble swallowing, headaches -- lots of fun stuff has come along with it. I have trouble falling asleep and it's worst when I first wake up. I'm popping ibuprofen and taking teething tablets for babies. I'm even currently chewing on a half-frozen paper towel. If anyone has any other remedies please share. Hoping this goes away soon, but a reminder that I should be thankful to have dental insurance for the first time in a long time. Now to find a dentist here...or some Vicatin...
