That's why I put my wisdom teeth off for so long! They weren't actually causing direct pain, just a constant ache from squishing the rest of my teeth together. It wasn't until the two got badly impacted that I bit the bullet and got them removed. And I'm SO GLAD I did! Even with the dry socket for three days, it was worth it! I highly recommend getting the others taken out while you're in the mood
As for pain, the doc gave me Tylenol3 and told me to alternate with extra strength Ibuprofen. That was great for two days, but didn't even touch the pain of dry socket. Even still, I assumed I was being a pussy and toughed it out for three days before I went to the dentist to get fixed. Once he packed his magic paste into my gaping wound, all the pain was gone and I was fine.
