Hard to say!. It could be a wisdom tooth -- some people get them in as early as 12 years old!. Your best bet is to see your dentist!. He/She can tell you what it is and can recommend options for treating your pain!. It's not a good idea to ignore it because the problem could get worse and you may have to deal with major surgery down the road if you let it go!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It sounds like an impacted wisdom tooth!. I have them still and I am going to be 45 yrs old!. My first dentist told me at 30 I didn't have any!. Ouch! All my wisdom teeth were impacted!. Get them taken care of as soon as you can, they can really wreak havoc on healthy teeth you already have!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I'm not a dentist but it sounds like a wisdom tooth, they can take years to come out!. It might seem lame but the best pain reliever is baby teething gel (Bonjela)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
