Are you experiencing a terrible pain at the back of your mouth? Then it could be that your wisdom teeth are erupting and causing trouble. It is not always the case that wisdom teeth cause pain and dental complications but some patients have too little room in their dental arc to accommodate any more teeth. This can cause the teeth to come through at an angle or get stuck against other teeth. Wisdom teeth affect more than three quarters of people in their twenties so it is always worth going to see a City of Leeds dentist to see if your wisdom teeth are likely to cause you problems.
The symptoms of wisdom teeth pain are a sore and tender feeling in the gums and jaw, headaches, swelling, bad taste in the mouth and very often, bad breath. It is possible for some people to feel a slightly uncomfortable and nauseating feeling even if the teeth are not coming through at an angle or causing a disruption. Painkillers such as aspirin and paracetmol can usually treat this kind of pain but you should see a doctor if the pain persists.
Impacted wisdom teeth are often removed if they are causing too much pain. This will happen in a dental surgery under a local anaesthetic. The process involves the dentist breaking the tooth into pieces to allow an easier removal of the tooth. Patients will usually feel pain and experience swelling after the surgery but this will recede after a few days. There are occasionally complications with removals so you will need to see your dentists soon after the operation to ensure there are no complications.
