Question:
I noticed my wisdom teeth are starting to come out and it hurts a lot and my jaw is killing me. The sides of my head hurt. Is this because of the teeth?? Joe in CA
Answer:
Joe, you should go see a dentist and request a pantographic x-ray because you think your wisdom teeth are coming in. You may need to have them out and the pain is often because of inflamed tissue in the area where the teeth are extruding into your mouth.
Sometimes this pain can be from pressure into the other teeth from the erupting wisdom teeth. At any rate, you should get a jaw x-ray to see the position of these teeth and most likely, have them removed. A word of advice, have all 4 removed at once if you are going through this and use an ORAL SURGEON!!!!! I would also recommend sedation for this procedure.
Best of luck.
