My Answers

How long can wisdom teeth pain last?
It varies with person and position of the tooth. And pain does not get better own it’s own. Most of the time it need to be taken out as pain can be from the gum growing over the tooth which trap food and bacteria, cause inflammation, that usually does not get better own it’s own. If the pain is because wisdom tooth is stuck behind the tooth in front of it (called impacted tooth) and it keep pushing it will keep causing discomfort and usually it does not erupt as it’s stuck behind. Either case it should be evaluated and preferably be extracted to relieve pain permanently. Rarely tooth finally gets erupted in the mouth and patient feels better but that can take weeks to months. It’s better to get evaluated and know the real cause of the problem so you can make an educated decision regarding the treatment of your tooth. Hope that helped! READ MORE
