Causes
Common Causes of Wisdom Teeth Pain
Wisdom teeth pain can be caused by several factors. The most common are:
- Damage to adjacent teeth:
When wisdom teeth are impacted, they can push on the adjacent teeth and damage them, which can cause pain and discomfort. - Tooth decay:
Wisdom teeth are difficult to clean because of their location, making them more prone to decay. When this happens, pain due to infection can occur. They can also cause the surrounding teeth to become decayed. - Gum disease:
Pericoronitis is a condition that can occur when wisdom teeth partially erupt through the gums. As a result, a flap of gum tissue is partially covering teeth and it is prone to being traumatised every time the patient bites. This can cause the gum tissue to swell and become inflamed, which can be painful. - Wisdom tooth abscess:
An abscess can form when a wisdom tooth infection is left to progress. It is a pus-filled pocket that grows around the tooth, causing intense pain.

Faqs
Frequently Asked Questions about
Wisdom Teeth Pain
What are the signs and symptoms of wisdom teeth pain?
Wisdom teeth pain can manifest in different ways. Some of these are:
- Pain at the back of the mouth
- Red, swollen, inflamed gums
- A bitter or unpleasant taste in your mouth
- Jaw pain or difficulty opening your mouth
When should I have my wisdom teeth removed?
If your wisdom teeth risk causing problems, your dentist may suggest removing them even if you’re not in pain. However, you should visit them immediately if you are experiencing symptoms.
Wisdom teeth pain may indicate a tooth infection, damage to nearby teeth, or other dental issues. So, it’s important to see them for an examination and a diagnosis.
How do I manage wisdom teeth pain at home?
Here are some helpful ways to manage your wisdom teeth pain at home:
- Apply a cold compress to the area to reduce swelling.
- Take over-the-counter pain medications.
- Rinse with salt dissolved in water.
- Practise good oral hygiene and visit your dentist regularly.
Will wisdom teeth pain go away on its own?
In some cases, wisdom tooth pain may resolve on its own if it is not impacted. However, if the pain recurs or persists, it’s essential to address the cause. Wisdom teeth that are impacted or infected will likely require removal.
It is best to consult with a dental professional when you feel any symptoms or pain.
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
No, not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. Those that are not impacted and are healthy can be left in place. However, your dentist may recommend doing so if they are impacted, symptomatic, and likely to cause problems.
Book a consultation with us so our dental team can advise you on the appropriate course of action for your wisdom teeth.
