Very common: Wisdom tooth pain can sometimes come suddenly or slowly and gradually, and can be shrugged off or perhaps mistaken for something else. See surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Good luck.

Yes: Yes. For best results with wisdom teeth, make sure you are evaluated and treated by a board certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon.
