Have you been feeling sharp pain in the corners of your jaw? It may be your wisdom teeth<\/a>! These third molars typically appear in a person\u2019s late teens or early twenties. While some may never experience any issues with a wisdom tooth, others may encounter discomfort and pain. But where does this pain come from? Continue reading to understand the origins of wisdom tooth pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Common Causes of Wisdom Tooth Pain<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many reasons why wisdom teeth are so disruptive and painful. Here are a few common issues that have earned third molars a less-than-sterling reputation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impaction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Impaction is what happens when a wisdom tooth fails to fully emerge through the gum line. Impacted wisdom teeth can put excess pressure on other adjacent molars, leading to pain and discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When wisdom teeth only partially erupt, bacteria can easily accumulate around the gum tissue covering it. This can result in an infection that causes swelling, pain, and tenderness in the gums surrounding the affected tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crowding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes when wisdom teeth come in, they disrupt the alignment of existing teeth. This leads to the shifting of neighboring teeth which can cause pain as they press against one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cyst Formation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, wisdom teeth may develop cysts\u2014fluid-filled sacs that form around the tooth. These cysts can cause pressure against the root of a tooth as they grow larger and can often damage surrounding bone if left untreated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tooth Decay<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wisdom teeth are at the back of the mouth, making them harder to clean effectively. Because of this, they are more prone to decay and cavities that eat away at enamel. Once the decay reaches the pulp of a tooth it can cause excruciating pain due to exposed nerves or infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding how wisdom tooth pain forms is essential to begin treating it. Once you feel pain set in near your wisdom tooth, you should reach out to your dentist for help. Many times, it\u2019s better to have these teeth extracted to prevent added discomfort or dental issues down the road. Your dentist will know for sure and see that you get the treatment to need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
