Wisdom teeth don’t always cause symptoms or pain. However, when they become impacted, crowded, or accumulate bacterial infections, they can cause discomfort in the mouth. You may experience the following signs and symptoms:
- Inflamed or swollen gums near the wisdom tooth.
- Tender or bleeding gums
- Swollen and soreness around the jaw.
- An unpleasant taste in the mouth.
- Bad smell coming from the mouth.
- Painful to open the mouth.
- Difficulty swallowing.
Call your dentist immediately when you experience wisdom tooth pain accompanied by these symptoms.
