Get Relief From Wisdom Tooth Pain

Most people get their wisdom teeth (the final molars) between the ages of 16 and 25. While not everyone will get their wisdom teeth, many of those who do will end up having them removed.

Why are wisdom teeth removed?

Misaligned wisdom teeth could easily crowd the surrounding teeth, damage or push adjacent teeth out of place, or even harm the mouth tissue.

Wisdom teeth can be a little difficult to clean, which could result in tooth decay and gum disease.

Some wisdom teeth don’t fully break through the gum, which may cause pain to the individual and lead to infection and swelling.

Does having wisdom teeth pain constitute a dental emergency?

Painful wisdom teeth are generally not a dental emergency. Nonetheless, they sometimes cause an infection as they try breaking through the gum, or arrive under other teeth. This could cause severe pain and require immediate attention.
