Wisdom teeth - how do you know if it's them?

[numptysmummy]

My left jaw really hurts at the back - like i've opened my mouth too wide. No tooth ache or gum pain but getting worse,hurts to yawn,eat,shout! Could it be wisdom teeth moving down?

Bump

Might be, but to be honest, sounds more like you could have been clenching/grinding in the night which will cause similar symptoms.

Pain killers as & when & if still persists/gets worse after a few days, see your dentist.

if it behind your jaw and near towards the ear..then possibly a ear ache...but ive never heard of W teeth moving down??..only up!

or yes same advice as Sandcastles

Upper wisdom teeth move down!

Meant up - in lower jaw! Not ear ache,def jaw ache. Been all wkend.

Go & get it checked out at the dentist. They can do an x-ray to check whether wisdom teeth are becoming impacted.

ahh right!....possibly youve been grinding your teeth together overnight.. Happens to me when im stressed - aaaaaaaarrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!

Will make a dentist appt,thanks all
