How bad is wisdom tooth pain?

For the past two days, I've had really bad pain at the very back of my jaw, near my ear. Could it be an impacted wisdom tooth, and does wisdom tooth pain usually hurt this much?

I literally panicked thinking my jaw was getting locked forever because the pain was so bad. But the dentist reassured me it was just an impacted tooth pushing. Got it extracted, and the relief was instant, so don't worry too much.

Don't waste time trying clove oil or keeping garlic on your gums, it only gives temporary relief. If your wisdom tooth is growing sideways, no home remedy will change that. Go get an X-ray done at a proper dental clinic.

Bro, it's honestly the worst. You can't eat your favorite burgers, and even talking to friends hurts. Best to just go to a dentist and get it over with instead of tolerating it.

The pain starts slowly but then suddenly spikes, especially at night when you're trying to sleep. I had to live on cold curd and ice cream for a few days before my extraction. Just go to the doctor, waiting only makes the swelling worse.

I completely understand how exhausting and distressing dental pain can be, it literally makes your whole head throb. It is very natural to feel anxious about the extraction process too. Just take a deep breath and let a professional dentist handle it.

Wisdom tooth pain can be very irritating, haan na. You cannot chew your food and your cheek also gets thoda swollen. It is better to show the doctor quickly rather than suffering.

It is a complete nightmare because you have to look at delicious biryani and settle for tasteless khichdi instead! The pain makes chewing impossible, so I just got mine removed to save my food cravings.

It can really mess up your workout routine because the constant throbbing makes it hard to focus on lifting. Keep your nutrition simple with protein shakes and soft foods while you get it sorted out by a dentist.
