Wisdom Tooth Pain

Wisdom tooth pain can be aggravating to say the least.  Sometimes teething occurs and you have room for them.  Most people I see don't have room for wisdom teeth, so you need them removed.  Generally speaking wisdom teeth are taken out by an oral surgeon, but sometimes general dentists take them out.  Wisdom teeth can start hurting anytime from about age 16 and on.  Some people develop all 4, while others have anywhere from 0-3 develop.  In the end it doesn't matter how many develop as long as they either erupt through the gums, or are taken out.  Wisdom teeth that don't erupt pose a potential for abscess or cyst formation, neither of which sound good.  If you have further questions about wisdom teeth or other dental concerns please link to our website below or give us a call.

Tooth Pain

Tooth Pain varies from mild irritation only when stimulated by cold or sweets, to crippling due to an dental abscess.  I have found some people can sense the smallest of cavities coming on while others won't every feel pain with a tooth even when the tooth is to the point of being broken off at the gumline.  Sometimes people will have pain in their teeth when the weather is changing associated with sinuses.  Wisdom teeth erupting can cause quite a bit of discomfort.  After all this information I will sum it up to say the sooner you treat it, the better and easier the outcome.  If you think you have a cavity, or just need a regular checkup please call our office or visit our website below for more information.
