Wisdom Tooth?

How does a wisdom tooth feel like? I’m not sure, but I think I have a widsom tooth. I looked it up on the internet, and it says that it’s supposed to be in the very back of your teeth, which matches my situation. But there were like 5 or 6 symptons, and the only sympton that matches my situation is that it hurts my cheek a bit. But other than that, that’s about it. and I’ve seen pictures of wisdom tooth, and I checked with mine, and I think it may be it…

Answer #1

It feels like your back molar? What symptoms are you talking about? And if it is just growing, it’s your wisdom tooth… The rest of your teeth should be done growing by now…

Answer #2

the tooth will bob to the surface creating a little…I don’t know…bump of skin back there, and then it might go back down. sometimes it takes them a while to break through the skin, and sometimes they never do.

also, since you’re getting new teeth, you’ll feel like a teething baby feels. it might feel better chew on something…you might get slight fevers, there maybe redness and swelling. you should keep the area really clean, and maybe think about icing if it hurts that bad. also, taking advil around the clock will keep the swelling down. you could call your dentist and he could advise you as to what you probably have.

caution: you could also be absessing…which is basically a bubble of infection in your mouth that wll grow and hurt. you need to go to your dentist if you think that may be it.

best of luck:)
