Hi docI was suffering from severe wisdom tooth eruption pain for last 7 days. I took ibuprofen when the pain became unbearable at times. Now since yesterday i did not feel that pain and i can see a new tooth emerging on my left lower jaw. Does that mean everything is normal now that my tooth has finally erupted?
Glad to hear your pain is gone! Just because the tooth is in, and your pain is gone may not mean all is normal. Since all wisdom teeth tend to erupt around the same time frame, a visit to a dentist to have these teeth evaluated is in order. More often than not, wisdom teeth have decay, are in a poor or crowded position resulting in difficulties cleaning the wisdom tooth and/or adjacent teeth. If any of the above are present, removal is usually the best option.
