Why can an impacted wisdom tooth cause so much pain? 🦷
When a wisdom tooth does not have enough room to grow properly, it may become trapped beneath the gums or grow at an angle. This can create areas where food and bacteria collect, leading to irritated gums, infection, swelling, jaw stiffness, and pain.
Do not ignore persistent pain or swelling. A dentist can examine the area, take X-rays, and recommend the right treatment before the problem becomes more serious.
