Wisdom teeth: in many cases wisdom teeth should be extracted due to complications associated with their alignment. If you are experiencing wisdom teeth swelling or pain see your dentist. Often extracting a wisdom tooth is the best solution. Wisdom teeth removal is necessary for about 85% of the adults. See your dentist about monitoring the position of your wisdom teeth even if you don't feel any symptoms.

Teething: Pain, swelling, soreness often accompany erupting or partially impacted wisdom teeth. Unfortunately fully impacted wisdom teeth may be asymptomatic, but cause the most damage. As part of your regular 6 month Dental Examination your Dentist will examine and/or x-ray your wisdom teeth. If there is a problem, referral to Oral Surgeon may be in order. If you are concerned, call your Dentist.
