Does this seem like a minor problem occurring with my wisdom teeth?!
Question: Does this seem like a minor problem occurring with my wisdom teeth!?
I'm 16 years old turning 17 in a month!. I noticied maybe a year ago (or maybe more) that when I move my jaw up too high it would crack and hurt like hell for like 5 seconds!. It was almost like a shooting pain!. Then the other day I noticied that behind the 3rd molar on the upper right, theres a fang from the tooth popping through the skin! I looked in the mirror at my other molars and saw that behind my 3rd molar on my bottom left side, theres a front of a tooth growing above the skin a little!.
Ive been to the dentist 3 times this year and twice last year!. But this has nothing to do with my wisdom teeth!. Last year I got a root canal and then had another tooth pulled!. Then this year I had another tooth pulled so that makes two!. They were both molars that were pulled, they were the 2nd molars on each side, thats where the wisdom teeth are poking through!. Is it because theres a space for them to grow since maybe its pushing the molar in front of it more into the empty hole from where the molars were pulled!?
He took X-rays each time I visited him and he never mentioned nothing about my wisdom teeth!. The last time I went, he told me to come back and see him in 6 months to get my teeth cleaned!.
Other wise, I have no pressure or pain with my teeth at all!. Its only if I move my jaw up too high and itll crack!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
it sound like you have 2 different things going on!. your jaw cracking is your TMJ, temporomanibular joint !.!.!. if you are stressing out you may be grinding your teeth at night and that can cause problems with you TMJ!. If it really bugs tell you dentist at the next visit!.
It also sounds like your wisdom teeth are coming, that's normal and doctors usually don't mention anything unless it looks like there's going to be a problem with the wisdom teeth !.!. since you've had a couple teeth taken out it sounds like you have en ought room for them to come it!.
regardless make sure you go to the dentist regularly and if things get to the point where they hurt on a regular basis call and make a sooner appointment!.
ps this is a big pet peeve!.!.!. TMJ is not a pain, or a disorder or an illness!.!.!.!. everyone has a TMJWww@Answer-Health@Com

Probably Wisdom teeth - they will begin to poke through and irritate a bit at first then get worse when they do break through (Wisdom teeth just keep on growing)!. I had this happen with both my lower wisdom teeth!. Also Wisdom teeth are generally removed when people are in their teens and 20's - although I had my uppers taken out at 42 (lowers done around ages 21 and 23)!. Lower ones give more pain and swelling when removed!. It's worse if the are impacted (when they grow in angled and are apparently also stuck in the bone)!. Upper ones - for me it were a piece of cake - did not even need pain medication after the Novocaine wore off!.
Sometimes dentists don't always mention when is wrong with (other) teeth when you visit - they are focused on one problem - my experience anyways!. Most should notice other problems when you visit I would think!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
