I think my wisdom teeth are coming through? Help?

Question

I think they are as my back teeth are really painful, i've had a sore throat and it hurts when I swallow. I can feel the gum lifting up at the back. I am also now getting an ear ache.

Can anyone suggest what I can do to relieve some of the pain, other then pain killers, as I can not clean my teeth correctly at the back as it is too painful!

Answer 1

I have mine coming through, and they've been coming through for 2 years now lol. Did hurt at first but don't bother me too much anymore. If it's that painful that you can't brush I'd suggest get an emergency 5 minute appointment at your dentist. A quick look and he'll know if anything is wrong. They can be prone to infection as they are cutting through the gum. Go check, he may give you a short course of anti-biotics, that happened to me. It was paining more than normal, like really bad and nothing would relieve the pain, he gave me antibiotics and I was fine after 3 days.

Answer 2

it sounds like you may have to get them removed. i have all of my wisdom teeth in, and it didnt hurt when they came through.

if you dont have enough room for them, then they will need to be removed

Answer 3

Why not go to a dentist and have some X-rays taken just to make sure they are coming through normally
