Last march i noticed a small lump and pain in my upper right gum, had xray done at dentist to reveal upper impacked wisdom tooth, I was 34 years old. Went to the maxillofacial hospital and was told that it didnt look like it would cause any problems and that most of the pain was TMJD and not from the tooth, alothough I tend to disagree, so its been a year now and not a painfree week has gone by. The wisdom tooth has now cut through the gum and my dentist can now see the cusp of the wisdom tooth and the shape through my gum, the pain is unbelievable at times and hurts in my nose and face, my two back teeth feel sore and feel like there is pressure on them, im now awaiting another appointment at the hospital to have it looked at again, but im afraid he will try to blame the pain on TMJ!, do you thing all this pain is from my tooth? I never had this pain before the lump in my gum was discovered. I really want it removed.
