My 22 year old now. I had severe tooth pain from5 days. I went to a Dentist, he told that the pain is due to eruption of the wisdom tooth. I really donot know what he is taking of. Why a teeth will erupt at this age, it is quite peculiar. Can any body explain mw what is this Wisdom tooth
Hi, Wisdom tooth is the Third Molar teeth which erupt in the oral cavity. These teeth usually erupt at 18-25 years. In some persons they do not erupt at all and in some persons it erupts partially which causes pain and inflammation of the gums around the tooth. This condition is known as Peritonitis. You should Take Warm saline gargle 4-5 times a day for relief. An X-Ray will only determine the position of the tooth. If the tooth is impacted it should be surgically removed for a permanent relief.
