Are my wisdom teeth effecting my tongue? ?

OK - So, I'm certainly feeling my wisdom teeth grow in. They have been hurting for about 6 months now. Not sure if it is shifting my teeth at all, but on the left side of my mouth - I ALWAYS bite my tongue. TThis has just recently started happening. Whenever I wake up in the morning my tongue has sores on the side of it.... Why is this? What can I do to prevent these sores? Are there any Meds to help them heal faster? help!!!!!!!!!!!

LET ME KNOW! I'm dyin here!

Have the cusps of your wisdom teeth broken through the gum tissue at all? You said you feel them growing in, but you didn't say you can see them? If they are visible in your mouth then sure you can bite your tongue. It is not used to having anything in there that far back and it doesn't know to get out of the way yet. You are making traumatic ulcers or canker sores form on your tongue. They can take several days to heal, but if you keep biting that area, they won't heal. Rinse with warm salt water...2 tsp of salt to juice glass of very warm water. Do this a few times a day and don't rinse it back off after you finish. Get your wisdom teeth out. Why have you been suffering for 6 months? You don't need them and most likely they won't come all the way in. They are hard to keep clean and healthy. You probably are a night grinder too. Your teeth clench and grind on each other, your tongue and cheeks can get lots of abuse. Wearing a night guard appliance made just for you by your dentist will help protect the very strong forces on your teeth from grinding. This is very common, its related to stress in our life and it doesn't go away. I myself grind and have been recommending night appliances for years. Get your wisdom teeth out!
