The wisdom tooth hurts a bit, can I have it removed?

The growth of wisdom teeth is a relatively common phenomenon. Most people have experienced the pain of growing wisdom teeth. Sometimes the pain is horrible. In severe cases, the whole face will be painful and swollen. There are many reasons for wisdom teeth to grow. Not paying attention to oral hygiene, liking heavy-tasting food, and having a strong stomach will increase the risk of wisdom teeth growing. So, if wisdom teeth are painful, can they be removed?

Methods/Steps

Let me first talk about my toothache experience. I went back to my hometown in early 2017 and slept on a warm kang for three days. I didn't feel anything at the time, but later when I went back to the city to work, I suddenly felt a toothache. I looked in the mirror and found that a wisdom tooth had grown at the back. A little bit of a small white tooth had just emerged, and the surrounding gums were red and swollen. The next day, I had a headache and couldn't open my mouth. It was particularly serious. Later, I went to the clinic to see a doctor and got some medicine. The picture shows my tough wisdom tooth; it just came out a little bit, and the rest was buried in the gums;

It took about a week to heal. After more than two months, a week before my period, my wisdom tooth started to hurt again. I started buying medicine again. This time it felt better, so I didn't take it too seriously. I felt that it wouldn't hurt again.

However, a month later, my wisdom tooth pain started to flare up. It hurt 1-2 times a month. I couldn't eat spicy or sweet food. It was really unbearable for me, a foodie. So I bought a lot of medicine, sprays, mouthwashes, and tried everything, but they only relieved a little bit, so I decided to extract the tooth.

Just a few days ago, I took advantage of the fact that my teeth didn't hurt for a few days, so I went to the hospital with my husband. When I got there, the doctor said that my wisdom teeth needed to be extracted, and there was a lot of tartar, so I needed to clean my teeth first, and then take an X-ray to see how the wisdom teeth needed to be extracted; my wisdom tooth had just come out a little bit, and the rest was buried in the gums; so I did what the doctor said, and after cleaning my teeth and taking the X-ray, I was not mentally prepared, so the doctor asked me to lie down on the tooth extraction chair, and started to tell me the steps of tooth extraction, and signed an agreement; the film is as shown in the picture: I extracted the one in the lower right corner;

When I started to extract my wisdom tooth, it was very difficult to extract because only a small part of it was exposed. So the doctor told me that I needed to remove the small tooth first and then extract it. The first step was to give me anesthesia, which only numbed half of my face.

After the anesthetic took effect and I felt numb, the doctor began to cut the tooth. At that time, I felt that the anesthesia was all blood. Another doctor took a tube to suck out the blood in my mouth. At that time, I felt that I had given my entire mouth to them and they could do whatever they wanted. It was a minimally invasive surgery at that time, and no hammer was used. After the tooth was cut, they began to extract the tooth. It didn't hurt at all when they did it before, just felt numb. But it was a little painful when it was extracted, but it was acceptable. After that, the doctor sewed a few stitches for me and asked me to get cotton balls in the hospital for an hour. The doctor let me leave after he saw that there was no problem. Now that the tooth is gone, I don't have to worry about it hurting anymore.
