WISDOM TOOTH: Please consult with a Dentist. You may need to have your wisdom teeth removed.

No, not normal: The wisdom tooth may have erupted into a spot that is causing imbalance of your occlusion. This, in turn, may be playing havoc with your jaw joint. It will not self correct. See your Dentist. Referral to an OralSurgeon may be prudent.
