Wisdom teeth issues, Is it really painful for non impacted wisdom teeth growing in?

Question:

I don't think my wisdom teeth are impacted at all. I can see the crown growing up. I think is it was growing in sideways or if it was impacted then the crown wouldn't be showing or it would be shown pushing against the nearby tooth, but it isn't. I think the pain is coming from how the tooth is growing in. I think its growing in normal but unsure if theres enough room. The tooth is growing up into (unsure what the name of the tissue is) You know the very back where the wisdom tooth grows, theres an arch and a lot of flesh that looks like cheek issue where the gums seem to end. Well my tooth is pushing that cheek issue in the archway and its growing in a spot and making room I guess? Its turning the flesh in the back white like stretch marks and its making it wrinkled.Its just really painful. Ibprofen only makes the pain somewhat bareable. Its been 6 days of contact pain. There is no infection im sure. salt water and bakign soda are useless.any ideas if this is normal for growing right?

Answers:
Yes, this sounds very normal. Teething hurts just ask a baby. Try to keep it very clean, brush across that tissue and make sure to floss the backside of the last molar, down under the gumline. The only thing I can suggest is to keep the Ibuprofen in your system. You might try Aleve because it is less medicine to take. Get some freeze pops and chew on them either closed or open. Just make sure you are chewing with that area. This is to numb it. You might get some Ambesol OTC as a temporary numbing solution. Not much you can do really except get them extracted. Good luck.

no. your a man. your being to big of a pus**

All four of my wisdom teeth came in just fine. Maybe a bit of soreness once in a while, but nothing to ever worry about. The dentist said I had plenty of room, so no reason to worry about taking them out. I think it's a common misconception that people believe that everyone needs to have their wisdom teeth removed...

My wisdom teeth are coming in now also. If you can see the tooth where it should be, that's a plus. One of mine grew in straight and slowly turned toward my cheek and now I'm getting all 4 out. To be safe and to save a lot of pain later I'd see a dentist.

Good luck!

Hi there,

I only have three and they are growing in as well. I know on is impacted so only two are coming through. They are growing very slowly. So, the only time they hurt is when they grow a little and touch my inside of my cheek. It takes my mouth a week to adjust, and then I am fine. Your pain seems worse and I really think that if it is an option for you, you really should go to the doctor.

Feel better soon!
