I'll try to help.: Sounds like you're asking about wisdom teeth. If your pain is caused by your wisdom tooth, and the only person who can tell is a dentist or oral surgeon, then the tooth should probably be removed. This is a painless procedure done under IV and local anesthesia....You won't feel a thing. Yes, you will have some discomfort later, but it should be manageable with prescribed medications.

Wisdom teeth: Usually wisdom teeth can be extracted in an oral surgery office under IV sedation with little or no discomfort. Your oral surgeon should be consulted to evaluate your medical health and discuss all issues associated with your specific case. Good luck.

Tooth Ache: The jaw pain could be due to several reasons: cavity on a tooth/teeth, gum disease, gum lesions, pathology of the jaw/gingiva, tooth abscess, TMJ disorder, infected wisdom tooth or a fractured tooth. Wisdom teeth removal is very straightforward. You have the choice of sedation or only local anesthesia. Most patients have mild discomfort after the procedure.
