A member asked:
My mandibular wisdom tooth is erupting and sometime the pain is unbearable with swelling around gums and cheeks and other days its just fine with little or no pain, this has been going around for 3/4 months and i feel exhausted now what to do?

The wisdom teeth erupt usually between the ages of 16 - 25, and unless they are coming in at the right angle and there is enough room for them they need evaluation and treatment by a dentist. Waiting is uncomfortable and unnecessary. Please go and see your dentist now!

Wisdom teeth are unnecessary and if there's not enough room for them, it's time to get them extracted. Please see a local dentist or oral surgeon.
