The wisdom teeth, also known as the third molars, are the last of your permanent teeth to come in. When the wisdom teeth come in, they erupt through the gums, which can be painful in certain situations. You can also experience wisdom tooth pain if they grow in sideways or crooked, if they grow in too far to the side to cause them to push other teeth, or if your teeth are in any other way misaligned. There are multiple ways to stop pain caused by wisdom.
