Wisdom teeth are large teeth that grow at the very back of the mouth. Most people's wisdom teeth come through between the ages of 17 and 25. Some people may not have any wisdom teeth come through at all. Sometimes, there is not enough room in the mouth for wisdom teeth to move into the right position. Your wisdom teeth can cause pain even if they’re not infected. You may also have pain after your wisdom teeth removal. Other causes of pain include:

- Gum pain. The gums around or over a wisdom tooth can become infected. This infection causes painful, red and swollen gums.

- Crowding. If there isn’t enough room for the wisdom tooth to grow, it may be impacted and push against a neighbouring tooth. The pressure may cause root damage and fractures in the teeth.

- Cysts. A cyst is a fluid-filled sack that forms over a completely or partly impacted wisdom tooth. It might feel like a hard bump or swelling in the gum. A cyst can lead to an infection and other complications.

- Dry socket. Dry socket is a common dental condition that happens when the empty tooth socket doesn’t heal properly. Normally a blood clot forms in the tooth socket.

- Poor healing. Slowed healing can cause pain to continue even after you have an infected wisdom teeth removal. Smoking and poor nutrition can delay healing and lead to a dry socket or gum infection.

Tips to treat wisdom teeth infections

- Salt water rinse. Mix salt in warm or cold drinking water. Swish it around your mouth a few times and spit out. The salt helps to temporarily slow down some of the bacteria.

- Cold compress. Place an ice pack or a cold cloth compress on the outside of your cheek, over the infected area. The cold helps to soothe swelling and inflammation.

- Clove oil. Cloves contain natural antibacterial oils. Use a cotton swab to dab clove oil directly onto your wisdom tooth. Repeat a few times to help ease swelling and pain.
