I got my wisdom teeth about a year ago. They erupted through my gum and pain was suffered throughout the process. But, they were not removed due to the fact that they’re not disrupting nor disturbing my normal routine.

About a month ago, I had an extra molar tooth growing down from my upper left jaw. The pain was endurable and I was still able to munch and chew. Then, a couple of days ago, I started experiencing this swelling with extreme pain in the inner part of my mouth, in which I suspect is due the growth of another new molar tooth in my upper jaw, now it’s on the right hand side. The pain is really frustrating and I’m having trouble opening my mouth while eating. I went for a “Whopper” at Hungry Jacks tonight and I had to bite like a baby. One bite too large and the pain comes in. That totally kills my appetite to eat.

I was wondering if I should get it removed because I heard it might cause infections or something. The pain was so bad that even my neck muscle hurts when it is pressed against. Seems to me that the swelling had got itself onto my nerves. A friend of mine told me that I’ll get over this within 2-3 weeks, and drink a lot of water during this period will help. Taking panadols or painkiller may ease the pain, but should I be worried of my nerves?

Had anyone of you encountered such problems before? Please share your solutions or remedies to this.

Damn. I think I dropped my jaw.
