What are the effects of wisdom toothaches?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Just like any other: Wisdom teeth are just like any other and can become painful due to deep decay, etc. Sometime pain comes from the gum tissue surrounding or overlying the wisdom tooth due to partial exposure of the tooth. This tissue can become traumatized with chewing on it. The effect is it it painful. You should probably have it checked by a general dentist.

If infected: The inflammation can add more to the discomfort of pressure (in case of intrabony) and there will be pain as well to temperature if it is partially exposed in the case of acute and chronic pulpitis...

See a dentist ASAP: When wisdom teeth cause problems, they need to come out. If you are experiencing pain, swollen gums, lymph nodes and it does not go away or if you find it difficult to open your mouth, you should see a dentist for evaluation, x-ray and wisdom teeth removal.
