text: wisdom teeth? hey.... how do you know when they appear? do they come along with pain on the gum?   thanks. sure,  also headache, earpain, buzzing. and they don't even have to appear. they are building up pressure for a long time and could just stop before breaking the surface. even grow sideways... that really hurts.  you can feel them through your gums but if you don't know what to look for you may miss them.  if you have problems like that better let your dentist make an x-ray.
