Am I getting my wisdom teeth? I am 14 years old, female, and the past week has been torture off and on. Behind my last molars, my gums have became red and hard, the top layer has began to peel back too. I ve noticed since this started that headaches have became my best friend, along with the gums being so tender and have bled depending on what I eat:( Can you please let me know if I am starting to grow in wisdom teeth?
With your query, as such third molars usually erupts at the age between 17-21 years so in regard to your question I would suggest you to take a visit your dentist and take an x-ray for more information or status of the wisdom tooth/ third molar. Coming to the signs and symptoms when a wisdom tooth erupts yes one can see slight bulging/swelling of gingival that is overlying the tooth with inflammation. Some may get even severe pain during its eruption of course that area will be tender and causes uneasiness while eating and swallowing if lymph nodes are also enlarged. Nothing to worry about it first please visit you dentist ti rule out that the problem what you have is because of impacted tooth or any other pathology and then accordingly proceed with the treatment.
