Stiffness and pain in your jaw<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As your wisdom teeth come in, they can push against your other teeth and make them move. This in turn can cause you discomfort in your jaw, so if it feels stiff and sore you should get your dentist to take a closer look.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Tender gums<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As your wisdom teeth grow in you may notice tender gums around the area. As they erupt, bacteria can cause infections in the surrounding gum tissue. Once wisdom teeth have burst through your gums, they can also be difficult to clean and food particles trapped near the irritated area can worsen the problem. Extraction may be the solution to reducing the inflammation and making it easier for you to clean.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlineImageWrapper\" style=\"padding-right: 3px; float: left; margin: 10px !important; width: 100% !important; height: auto !important;\">\n<figure style=\"margin: 0px!important; font-style: italic!important;\">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Tender or irritated gums might mean it's time to say goodbye to your wisdom teeth. \" class=\"inlineImage\" height=\"auto\" id=\"14101811\" src=\"https:\/\/www.citydentists.co.nz\/dental-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/x_0_0_0_14101811_800.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><figurecaption>Tender or irritated gums might mean it&#39;s time to say goodbye to your wisdom teeth. <\/figurecaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you are suffering from any of these symptoms, <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinebookingapac.3pointdata.com\/soe\/new\/City%20Dentists%20Ltd?pid=NZCDL01\">book an appointment with us<\/a> immediately.
