When your wisdom teeth try to push through but have no room, it can cause real trouble. In Amman, we see this every day. You might feel a dull ache in the back of your jaw or notice your gums are red, swollen, and tender to the touch. Sometimes, the pain travels up to your ear or gives you a bad headache that just won’t go away.

The discomfort can change from a small annoyance to a sharp, throbbing pain that makes it hard to open your mouth or chew your food. You might even find it difficult to brush your back teeth properly, which can lead to a bad taste in your mouth or bad breath that is embarrassing.

Warning Note: Ignoring an impacted wisdom tooth is dangerous. It can lead to serious infections, deep cavities, or painful cysts that damage your jawbone. If you feel swelling or have difficulty swallowing, please visit Dr. Manal Awad Clinic immediately to stop the infection from spreading to nearby teeth.
