3 SIGNS OF WISDOM TEETH is GROWING WHAT SHOULD YOU DO!??? AND YOU NEED TO KNOW!?

Your wisdom teeth growing in is often not a straightforward affair, however. When your third molars are not in the right position to erupt properly, they can partially erupt and provide a place for bacteria to grow, which leads to infection. Wisdom teeth can also become impacted under gum and cause all sorts of oral health issues.

Being able to identify the warning signs of impacted wisdom teeth is important, but just as important is being able to tell what the normal signs of wisdom teeth growing in are. You’ll need enough information to be decisive about the matter, because time is of the essence when it comes to getting these molars removed.

1. Sensitivity and Swelling

If there’s swelling at the back of your mouth on one or both sides, often accompanied by minor discomfort, then this is a key sign that you’re experiencing your wisdom teeth growing in.

People liken the sensation to being alike to what they assume teething must be like for an adult. If you catch your wisdom teeth at this stage, it’s not a bad idea to consult your dentist about whether they are in a healthy position.

You should definitely visit your dentist for an evaluation if the soreness you experience in your mouth is better described as painful. Pain most likely means that your teeth have become impacted and need to be readied for extraction as soon as possible.

If you need to have your wisdom teeth extracted, but are hesitant because of any anesthetic injections you will have in the process, don’t worry. DentalVibe’s Comfort Injection System has eliminated the stinging pain of needles, and many dentists are using the system because of this. In fact, dentists find that because patients are so comforted by the pain-free injection device, the reviews left on social media platforms like Google help them attract and retain more patients.

2. Headaches

Sometimes, the signs of impacted wisdom teeth can be a lot subtler, as is the case with headaches. Since wisdom teeth trapped under the gum or in the wrong position can cause overcrowding, the resulting pressure and tension building up in the jaw can trigger headaches.

If you already suffer regularly from headaches, this symptom could fly under your radar. So, it’s best to continue visiting your dentist regularly to catch impacted teeth early with x-rays and determine the best course of action.

3. Infection

When your wisdom teeth partially erupt, as we said above, it can provide a place for bacteria to grow, causing infections. But how does this happen exactly? You could be brushing twice a day and flossing correctly and still experience this symptom. The reason for this is how the impaction of the teeth affected your alignment.

When the wisdom teeth are in the wrong position and have poked partway through the gums, there’s an easy opening for food to get trapped there. It’s trickier to dislodge food caught in this opening as well because of how tight the teeth are wedged against the other. The infection that’s caused by this is called pericoronitis and is one of the most major signs that teeth extraction is time-sensitive.

If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, but are postponing your dental visit due to the fear of dental pain, know that you have an alternative to injections. DentalVibe can make that pain a thing of the past.

why wisdom teeth cause pain

Generally, the pain associated with erupting wisdom teeth is due to a few causes.

Sometimes the wisdom tooth is trying to emerge without sufficient room to fully erupt. This can allow the tooth to attempt eruption at odd angles, pressing against other teeth. This condition is called impaction.

Wisdom teeth can also partially erupt. This allows bacteria to enter the area and cause an infection, as well as swelling, stiffness, and pain. This condition is called periocoronitis. It is essentially the adult version of teething and is the most common cause of wisdom teeth pain.

A more serious cause of pain can be the result of tumors or cysts forming around the impacted wisdom tooth. This condition can lead to the destruction of the jawbone and other healthy teeth if not treated properly
