Wisdom Tooth: It is very possible that it is your wisdom tooth. Your dentist can tell for sure, and advise you if you have enough room in your mouth for the tooth to erupt properly.

Specializes in Pain Management

Wisdom teeth pain: in many cases wisdom teeth should be extracted due to complications associated with the presence of tooth decay. It is a common procedure, generally performed under local anesthesia, intravenous (IV) sedation, or general anesthesia by a specially trained dentist or oral surgeon. Often extracting a wisdom tooth is the best solution. See an oral surgeon for x-ray and evaluation.
