Wisdom teeth become problematic and can cause excruciating pain. Dr Ajay Mathur, Head Department of Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hiranandani Hospital Vashi- A Fortis Network Hospital, discusses wisdom teeth issues.
How to know when there is a problem with the wisdom teeth
Impacted wisdom teeth are the wisdom teeth which do not fully erupt due to the blockage from other teeth. If your wisdom teeth are impacted, when your wisdom teeth start to emerge, it can be painful. There isn't sufficient room for them to emerge when the impacted wisdom teeth try to erupt. This indicates that your wisdom tooth/teeth are painfully lodged into your jawbone.
