Does wisdom tooth pain go away?

I got so scared when my jaw locked last month, I thought it was some major bone issue. But my dentist checked and said it is just the wisdom tooth cutting through. The pain actually stopped completely after a week, so please don't panic, it is very normal.

In my experience, temporary pain is normal when the tooth is erupting, and it does go away. However, if there is no space in your jaw, it might keep pressing other teeth and paining repeatedly. If the pain stays for more than 4-5 days, please visit a dental clinic.

My grandmother told me to press a clove near the tooth and it really gave me quick relief. But my dentist explained that if the tooth is impacted, the pain will keep coming back until we extract it. I feel it is always better to trust the doctor's plan for a permanent cure.

You can try doing warm saltwater gargles 3-4 times a day, it reduces the swelling naturally. But if you see any pus, heavy swelling on your face, or have a fever, please don't wait. Go to a doctor immediately because that means there is an infection.
