Does wisdom teeth pain go away?
My wisdom tooth started hurting pretty badly a few days ago, but now it's not as bad. Will this pain just go away on its own, or do I need to see a dentist?

From what I have been reading on dental forums, the pain might go away temporarily when the tooth stops active eruption. But if the tooth is impacted or growing sideways, the pain is bound to return until it is actually treated or removed.
Temporary pain can be eased by pressing a clove or rinsing with warm salt water. However, if there is swelling, severe pain, or difficulty opening your mouth, please do not rely on home tips and see a dentist immediately.
I totally get it, toothache is one of the most annoying and exhausting pains to deal with. The pain might subside for a few weeks, but it usually keeps coming back. It is really best to get an X-ray done so you don't have to keep suffering.
The pain might go away temporarily, but chronic dental infections can cause stress which isn't good for your blood pressure. Keep up with your dental checkups just like you do for your regular health parameters to ensure everything is fine.

I used to panic every time my jaw ached, thinking I needed major jaw surgery right away. But my dentist reassured me that mild, temporary pain is normal as the tooth erupts. It often goes away on its own once the tooth settles, though a checkup is good.
