WHAT CAUSES WISDOM TOOTH PAIN?
A wisdom tooth can be painful for a number of reasons. Because the wisdom teeth do not emerge completely along the jaw line and remain in the jawbone, a cavity is created between the tooth and the gingiva. The food that the person eats is collected in this pit. Therefore, tooth decay occurs faster. This tooth, buried in the jawbone, spreads over the entire jaw line and excruciating pain occurs.
Due to the location of the wisdom teeth, it is very difficult to clean the teeth with a toothbrush. In this way, wisdom teeth decay faster than other teeth. Even dental infections occur, causing the gums to swell to a level that can be seen from the outer cheek. In this case, toothache occurs, which is the inevitable end.
Wisdom teeth with a lack of space can also put pressure on the other teeth. The entire jaw then hurts. In this case, too, we advise extracting the tooth.
WISDOM TEETH COMING OUT: SYMPTOMS
When the wisdom teeth have enough space to erupt, they can easily organize themselves in the jaw. However, many people feel some discomfort when their wisdom teeth come out.

WHY DO SOME PEOPLE’S WISDOM TOOTH BREAK OUT LATER?
The reason why wisdom teeth come out differently in each person and even not at the required age in some people is because of the hard tooth structure. There must be enough space in the tooth line for the wisdom teeth to come out. The fact that the area where the tooth comes out is narrow and there is a crooked tooth in the area where the tooth needs to come out and the jawbone is not wide enough, it causes the wisdom teeth in some people break through later. However, when these issues are resolved, the wisdom teeth begin to erupt.
WHEN DO WISDOM TEETH NEED TO BE OPERATED?
If the wisdom tooth is embedded in the jawbone and causing health problems, that tooth will need to be surgically removed.
