On my lower set of teeth, I have one wisdom tooth erupting on the back left side. It is not "in line" with my other teeth and seems to be growing at a slight angle. Part of the tooth seems to be growing into my gum/cheek because the cap is partially covered with gum/skin. I cannot even open my jaw fully, as it starts to hurt. The pain is only on this side. Also, my inner cheek near that tooth is grayish-white, not pink. I do not understand what is going on. I am going to the dentist next week. I just noticed this tooth today as the jaw pain came on suddenly 2 days ago. The pain is very manageable but I dont understand what is going on in there and its hard to open my mouth and inspect it. Any suggestions on what my dentist/oral surgeon will do? Thanks very much.

i would say either you dint have room for your wisdom tooth and that is causing the pain or you have and infection from the tooth coming it. though i cant see in your mouth but if it is your first wisdom tooth it could just hurt because it is your first wisdom tooth. the dentist will take and look and ex-ray and see if there is room for it he probably will poke on it a little too. well hope this helps.. try chewing on some ice might help ya. or put and aspirin on it

Well, if you try to eat stuff that reqires a bit of chewing, your jaw will be really sore and will be hard to talk. lol (from my own experience about 4-5 years ago.) but, after the applesauce and pudding stage, anything that doesn't require a lot of chewing is good. {Jello, bananas, strawberries, smoothies are good too! :)} But probably in a couple more days you will notice your jaw/mouth to begin to be able to open a lil more each day. DON"t FORGET TO TAKE THE PAIN PILLS! Mine was codein....hehe....you cannot say that you didn't like it. Makes all the pains go away! :)

You probably have an infection; get to the dentist right away to prevent the infection from getting into your jaw bone or nearby teeth. I lost one of my molars because I waited too long (I waited a week). The discoloration you have inside your cheek is probably where you have been biting it in your sleep. It happened to me, too.
If you call the dentist and tell the receptionist what's going on, they will work you in. Don't wait; do it today!

Wisdom teeth are third molars.They are
useful especially if you have lost teeth in
the mouth.However,when they are impacted,
they can be painful and may need to be
removed. I found the information
at http://aches.in/wisdomteeth.html

he'll take it out. its extremely common for wisdom teeth to grow crooked. I'm having one of mine taken out next month.
