It&#8217;s similar to the teething pain that babies experience. More severe wisdom tooth pain might be a sign of a complication like impaction or infection.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does wisdom tooth growing pain last?<\/h3>    <p>Wisdom tooth pain may begin before there are any external signs of the tooth appearing.&nbsp;Then, it can take <strong>several weeks or months<\/strong> for a wisdom tooth to fully break through the gum.<\/p>    <p>It&#8217;s common to experience some soreness and sensitivity while the crown of the tooth is erupting especially if you bite down in that area. Once it has pushed through the gum, provided it is not impacted, it should stop hurting.<\/p>    <p>Some people only experience pain from their wisdom teeth growing for a relatively short time. For others, it may drag out for months or even years. If this is the case for you, you may want to find ways to treat your wisdom tooth pain naturally, since it&#8217;s not ideal to keep taking painkillers for a sustained period of time.<\/p>    <p>It&#8217;s also possible for wisdom teeth to never erupt, but to remain quite happily under the gum and never cause any problems to the other teeth. So just because you have unerupted wisdom teeth, it doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean you&#8217;ll have to deal with wisdom tooth pain at some point.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impacted wisdom tooth pain<\/h3>   <div class=\"wp-block-image size-medium wp-image-3780\"> <figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"269\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/impaction-300x269.jpg\" alt=\"impacted wisdom tooth pain\" class=\"wp-image-3780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/impaction-300x269.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/impaction-150x135.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/impaction-65x58.jpg 65w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/impaction-220x198.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/impaction-111x100.jpg 111w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/impaction-334x300.jpg 334w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/impaction-445x400.jpg 445w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/impaction.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain and become infected<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <p>When there isn&#8217;t enough room in your jaw for your wisdom teeth to erupt properly, they may grow at an angle and <strong>become impacted<\/strong>. Teeth can be full impacted (meaning they are still completely covered by gum) or partially impacted (meaning part of the tooth has emerged).<\/p>    <p>If the tooth becomes impacted as it is erupting, it may cause pain in the adjacent tooth as it pushes against it. You might also notice that part of the tooth is poking through the gum but it seems to have stopped coming through and is continuing to hurt.

If your dentist can see that leaving the tooth in place is likely to cause further problems, they will recommend removing it.<\/p>    <p>Unfortunately, the pain doesn&#8217;t necessarily end there. Extracting third molars can be quite complicated because of the size and position of the teeth, and this often leads to swelling, pain and discomfort following the procedure.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does pain after wisdom tooth extraction last?<\/h3>    <p>After your anaesthetic has worn off, the extraction site itself will feel sore for several days. The rate of healing will depend on how large the wound is and whether you have stitches. Your dentist might prescribe you a course of antibiotics to prevent infection, and will either supply painkillers or inform you of the best over-the-counter painkillers for wisdom tooth pain relief.<\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image size-medium wp-image-2147\"> <figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/fotolia_71863266_s-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"wisdom tooth extraction pain\" class=\"wp-image-2147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/fotolia_71863266_s-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/fotolia_71863266_s-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/fotolia_71863266_s-65x43.jpg 65w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/fotolia_71863266_s-220x147.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/fotolia_71863266_s-358x238.jpg 358w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/fotolia_71863266_s-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/fotolia_71863266_s.jpg 665w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Smoking increases the chances of infection and pain after wisdom tooth extraction<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <p>Here are some tips for <strong>minimising pain and reducing the chances of infection<\/strong> in the days after an extraction:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Rest as much as possible and avoid strenuous exercise<\/li>    <li>Don&#8217;t touch or poke the wound with your fingers or tongue<\/li>    <li>Avoid hot or cold foods and drinks<\/li>    <li>Don&#8217;t smoke, vape, or drink through a straw (the sucking action can dislodge the blood clot)<\/li>    <li>If using mouthwash or salt water to rinse, do so gently<\/li>    <li>Brush very carefully around the extraction site<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>Closely follow your dentist&#8217;s advice for protecting the wound and the blood clot that forms inside.

Following wisdom teeth removal, the gum is normally sore from the time until anaesthetic wears off until around three days later. <\/p>    <p>However, sometimes the pain can hang on for a couple weeks. If possible, plan to take 1 or 2 days off work or school following surgery. Pain relief medication, like ibuprofen, will help with pain and discomfort. Other home remedies include: creating a warm mouth rinse with one cup of warm water with one tablespoon of salt. Swig and swish the solution around in your mouth for about 30 seconds then spit and repeat; ice the outside of your jaw where the pain is; and avoid sugary or hard foods.<\/p>    <p><strong>Dr. Robert Berry, Mountain Aire Dentistry<\/strong><\/p>    <p>        <\/div>      <\/div>          <p>Our guide to the <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/tooth-extraction\/\" target=\"_blank\">tooth extraction process<\/a> has more information about what to expect.

It takes time for your body to repair the trauma to your nerves, and it will be several months before your jaw bone has grown to fill in the hole where the tooth roots were.<\/p>    <p>If you feel like your pain is increasing in the days after an extraction, consult your dentist.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"conclusion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>    <p>If you are in pain and haven&#8217;t visited your dentist yet, it&#8217;s best to do so.&nbsp;There are <strong>several causes of wisdom tooth pain<\/strong>, some of which require medical intervention.<\/p>    <p>While you are waiting to see your dentist &#8211; or if they have already confirmed the pain is just from a wisdom tooth coming through the gum &#8211; the <strong>best form of wisdom tooth pain relief<\/strong> is probably ibuprofen, paracetamol, or a topical pain relief medicine.
