Dental care?
I don't know about the wisdom tooth, but grinding your teeth at night can cause a lot of pain during the day. Many people who grind their teeth have TMJ.


You should try wearing a night guard while you sleep to prevent yourself from clenching/grinding. You can usually buy them for $20/$25 at drugstores or have your dentist make one for you (that is usually more expensive though).
Reply:It is because of your wisdom tooth that you get this grinding, right?


Then listen to above person for the teeth guard at night.


There is an option of operating on the wisdom tooth when it is developed. Not pulling it - operating.


Could be costly, but i fit helps, maybe you need to ask your dentist about that. Procedure is not the easiest for the doctor and could be done in the hospital or specialized tooth clinic.


I have a wisdom tooth that cannot be pulled out due to nerves responsible for the vision intertwined with it. Doctor told me leave it as is until you will have a problem with the tooth - then he will operate.


Harder recovery time. Can't eat hard food for few days afterward on that side.
Reply:I used to wake up with a headache every morning too because of grinding my teeth. I had a night guard made for my upper teeth and now I don't get the headaches anymore. Your dentist can make one up for you.
Reply:Were you referred to an Oral Surgeon or another general dentist?





The OS is the one who can help you......especially if the tooth is pressing on your trigeminal nerve~





Best of luck to you.
