अक्ल दाढ़ का दर्द
Wisdom teeth usually come through between ages 17 and 25. When there isn't enough room, they can cause pain and infection.
Common signs
- Pain at the back of the jaw
- Swollen gum over the tooth
- Difficulty opening the mouth
- Bad taste or bad breath
Common causes
- A tooth partly through the gum (impacted)
- Food trapped around it
- Infection of the gum flap
What you can do at home
- Rinse with warm salt water after meals
- Keep the area clean with gentle brushing
- Take a painkiller you normally use, as directed
Home care can ease symptoms, but it doesn't fix the cause.
