Jaw Pain: Please visit a local dentist to determine the cause of your pain. Other than your wisdom teeth, clenching and grinding can also result in jaw pain.

Jaw pain: If you are asking is it better to have all wisdom teeth removed at the same time even though only one hurts, yes. First int saves you multiple anesthetic exposures. Second it is more cost effective. Third wisdom teeth can cause severe damage that is not painful at first. Talk to your Dentist about seeing a specialist Oral Surgeon for examination and treatment recommendations.
