I've got 1 wisdom tooth on the top of my right.I've currently have 3 wisdom teeth that are coming out at the same time.Just below that wisdom tooth on the top of my right,is one of the 3 wisdom teeth that are coming out.I feel pain for no reason from my 1st wisdom tooth.I've checked,and there's no decay.

What's wrong?Is it normal?
As my wisdom teeth are coming out,will my other teeth affect?If yes,how?

when you go to the dentist they will exray it and find out, I am 40 and still don't have all mine, exrays show they are there but willnot come thru, I am praying that they stay the way they are but an exray is the only way to keep up with their progress. Hope you have good luck!!

Hi. Best thing you can do is book into to see a dentist. They will take an OPG (X-Ray of your whole mouth) or refer you for one if they don't have the machine as some surgeries don't.
This X-Ray will reveal just what is happening below the gum line.

They can also advise you on how much room your mouth has to accommodate the erupting teeth. Often there is not enough room for these additional teeth which is why they are often extracted when they come through. Many teenagers have 6's extracted as part of their dental plan to allow the necessary room needed.

The pain you are experiencing, even though it is technically not the tooth that is erupting, may be caused by that tooth - this is called referred pain, and it does happen.
Although you cannot see any cavity/spot on the tooth with pain, if you haven't seen a dentist in some time, maybe this is a good opportunity. You cannot possibly see your back teeth properly and you should get both these matters chacked out before you experience worse symptoms down the track.

For pain relief now you can try a cold compress to the side of the face (e.g. gel pack, or a handtowel rinsed in cold water from the fridge, or a small pack of frozen peas wrapped in cloth will do the job), something like Neurophen (Ibuprofen is the ingredient your looking for) but do check the back of the pack as it is not suitable for some people like Asthmatics. Cloves (although smelly) do work for some people....Maybe the smell takes your mind off the pain!
Good luck, and don't forget to book into a dentist.
