    Wisdom teeth are the last of your teeth to come in, or erupt, through the gums. Sometimes a wisdom tooth becomes impacted, or stuck below the surface of your gums, and grows at an odd angle, possibly causing complications.

    You'll likely need your impacted wisdom tooth pulled if it results in problems such as:

    Pain

    Infection

    Damage to an adjacent tooth

    Development of a fluid-filled sac (cyst) around the wisdom tooth

    Damage to surrounding bone

    Complications with orthodontic treatments to straighten other teeth

    You may be able to manage pain with a prescription pain medication given by your doctor or oral surgeon or an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others). Holding a cold pack against your jaw also may relieve pain.
