I Can Feel My Wisdom Tooth
There are many signs that you may have a wisdom tooth coming in. You may feel pressure in your mouth or pain in your gums. Your jaw may be sore.
You may also see a bulge on the side of your mouth. If you have any of these symptoms, you should see a dentist to have it checked out.
It’s official, my wisdom tooth is coming in and I can feel it! This is both exciting and slightly nerve-wracking. On one hand, I’m excited to finally have all of my adult teeth.
On the other hand, I’m not looking forward to the pain that’s sure to come with this new tooth.
But, alas, there’s no turning back now. The tooth is coming in whether I like it or not.
So, I’ll just have to brace myself for the discomfort and hope that it doesn’t last too long. Wish me luck!
Why Can I Feel My Wisdom Teeth?
There are a few reasons why you may be able to feel your wisdom teeth. First, if your wisdom teeth have not fully erupted through the gum line, you may be able to feel them with your tongue. Additionally, if your wisdom teeth are impacted (meaning they are growing in at an angle and pushing on other teeth), you may be able to feel them with your tongue or finger.
Finally, if you have an infection or inflammation around your wisdom teeth, you may also be able to feel them. If you are concerned about your wisdom teeth, we recommend that you see an oral surgeon for an evaluation.
How Long Does It Take a Wisdom Tooth to Come in Once It Starts?
It can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks for a wisdom tooth to come in once it starts emerging from the gums. The actual process of the tooth breaking through the gum line is called eruption, and it can be accompanied by some discomfort or pain. However, once the tooth has fully erupted, any associated discomfort should subside.
Wisdom teeth typically start to erupt during the late teenage years or early adulthood. This is because they are the last teeth to develop and come in (hence their name). For some people, all four wisdom teeth will come in at once; for others, only one or two may emerge.
If you are experiencing discomfort as your wisdom teeth start to come in, over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help. You can also try using a cold compress on the affected area to numb any soreness. If the pain is severe or lingers for more than a few days, however, you should see your dentist as you may need professional treatment.
In some cases, impacted wisdom teeth may need to be removed surgically. This is usually done if they are causing pain or crowding other teeth in your mouth. Impacted wisdom teeth that are left untreated can also lead to infection or damage to nearby teeth so it’s important to monitor them closely if they start coming in.
Why Does My Wisdom Tooth Feel Loose?
There are a few reasons why your wisdom tooth may feel loose. One reason is that the roots of your wisdom teeth are not fully developed and therefore they are not as securely anchored in your jawbone as other teeth. This can make them more susceptible to becoming loose.
Another reason is that wisdom teeth often come in at an angle, which puts extra pressure on the surrounding teeth and can cause them to become loose over time. Lastly, if you have any gum disease or decay around your wisdom tooth, this can also lead to it feeling loose. If you’re concerned about a loose wisdom tooth, it’s best to see your dentist so they can determine the cause and recommend the best course of action.
Can You Feel Wisdom Teeth With Tongue?
If you have wisdom teeth that have not yet erupted through the gums, you may be able to feel them with your tongue. However, once they have erupted, they are typically not noticeable unless they are causing pain or other problems. If you suspect you may have wisdom teeth that need to be extracted, it is best to see a dentist for an evaluation.

First Signs of Wisdom Teeth Coming in
Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that most people get in their late teens or early twenties. They got their name because they typically come in much later than your other teeth (hence the “wisdom” part), and by that time, you’re hopefully a little wiser than you were when your baby teeth came in. 😉
Most people have four wisdom teeth, one in each back corner of their mouth. But it’s not unusual to have fewer or even more wisdom teeth. And unfortunately, not everyone’s wisdom teeth come in smoothly (or at all).
In fact, impacted wisdom teeth are one of the most common dental problems! If your wisdom teeth are coming in normally, you probably won’t even notice them until they start poking through your gums (which can be a little uncomfortable). But if they’re impacted, you may start to experience pain and swelling in that area long before they break through the surface.
You might also have trouble opening your mouth all the way or see some crowding of your other teeth. If you think your wisdom teeth might be coming in, it’s a good idea to check with your dentist or oral surgeon to make sure everything is on track. They may recommend removing them before they cause any problems – and trust me, you don’t want an impacted tooth!
So pay attention to those first signs of wisdom teeth coming in and take care of them before they take over your mouth.
My Wisdom Teeth are Coming in And It Hurts
If you’re like most people, you’ll start to feel your wisdom teeth coming in when you’re around 17 or 18 years old. And if you’re anything like me, it will hurt. A lot.
I can remember my wisdom teeth growing in vividly because it was so incredibly painful. I had no idea what was happening or why it hurt so much, but I knew that I didn’t like it one bit.
As it turns out, when your wisdom teeth start to come in, they can push on your other teeth and cause them to shift.
This can lead to all sorts of problems, including pain, difficulty chewing, and even tooth decay. In some cases, wisdom teeth need to be removed surgically in order to prevent these problems from occurring.
Over-the-counter painkillers like ibuprofen can help reduce inflammation and pain. You can also try using a cold compress on your cheeks or jaw for 15 minutes at a time to help numb the area and reduce swelling. In short, getting your wisdom teeth is no fun.
But hopefully this article has helped shed some light on what’s going on and how you can deal with the discomfort.
Partially Erupted Wisdom Tooth
A wisdom tooth that has only partially erupted is referred to as an impacted wisdom tooth. When this happens, the wisdom tooth can become trapped between the jawbone and the gum tissue. This can cause pain, inflammation, and other problems.
If you have an impacted wisdom tooth, your dentist may recommend that it be removed. Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure that is typically performed by an oral surgeon. The surgery is usually done under general anesthesia, which means you will be asleep during the procedure.
After your wisdom teeth have been removed, you will likely experience some swelling and discomfort. Your mouth may also bleed for a few days. You will need to take it easy for a few days after the surgery and eat soft foods while your mouth heals.
Is My Wisdom Tooth Impacted Or Just Coming in
There are a few things that you can look for when trying to determine if your wisdom tooth is impacted or just coming in. First, look at the position of the tooth. If it is angled toward the back of your mouth, it is more likely impacted.
If it is angled toward the front, it is more likely that it is just coming in. Second, look at the surrounding teeth. If they are crowded or misaligned, your wisdom tooth is more likely impacted.
Finally, feel around the gum line for any bumps or irregularities. These could be signs that your wisdom tooth is impacted and trying to come through the gum line.
Conclusion
I Can Feel My Wisdom Tooth
The other day, I was eating an apple and felt a sharp pain in my jaw. I put my finger to the spot and felt a small bump.
It’s my wisdom tooth! I can feel it pushing through my gums.
It’s weird to think that I’ve been walking around with this tooth inside my head for years, and only now is it starting to come in.
I guess it’s just taking its time. Now that it’s coming in, though, it’s really bothering me. It hurts when I chew and makes my whole mouth feel uncomfortable.
I’m not looking forward to having this tooth extracted, but at least then the pain will go away. In the meantime, I’ll just have to deal with it and hope that it doesn’t give me too much trouble.
