Is it normal for your wisdom teeth to hurt when they're begining to grow? Because they basically just started to show and one side of my jaw goes numb for the whole day! Is this normal?

Wisdom teeth can hurt very bad when they're coming in. It's just like when kids and babies get teeth... they get cranky! Why? Cuz it freakin' HURTS!
BUT... you should go to a dentist and make sure there is room for the wisdom teeth. A LOT of people end up having them pulled because there isn't room for them in their mouths. This can cause them to come in very crooked or it can cause them to become "impacted"... which can become even MORE painful. If they're impacted too bad (like mine were), you'll need to have them removed by an oral surgeon (that was NOT a fun day!).
Good luck!

Yes, it is very normal. The air is just beginning to hit the area as the gum is opening and the tooth is growing, which will cause alot of pain and numbness. People use anbesol to stop the pain, but one thing that works and most regret to use is salt water before you use ambesol. You can also use salt water to rinse the tooth paste out after brushing your teeth.

Yes, but it is usually because you do not have enough room. I would call the dentist ASAP My gums even bleed and the pain is from the pressure on your wisdom teeth pushing on the next tooth This can shift all your teeth

Use some baby ambesol and then call your local dentist to check it out...yes it is normal when they come in but to be numb the whole day...that I am not sure on.

id call up ur dr or dentist. U can make a dental appt and not have anything done, he can juts look at your teeth an decide what medicine you should take. He will prolly give you an antibiotic and a pain medication.

Yes. Unfortunately, it can be very painful. You should probebly see your dentist so that he/she can decide if they need to be removed. Until then, use an over-the-counter medicine like ibrofrofin (spelling?), advil, ect.. You may also want to use something like origel or ambesol.
Hope you feel better soon!

the worst pain I ever had was when my wisdom tooth began to grow. I had to have them pulled, most people have to have them extracted, you may want to speak to your dentist about this
