Hi,
Wisdom tooth is the Third Molar teeth which erupt in the oral cavity. These teeth usually erupt at 18-25 years. In some persons they do not erupt at all and in some persons it erupt partially which causes pain and inflammation of the gums around the tooth. This condition is known as Pericoronitis. You should Take Warm saline gargle 4-5 times a day for relief. An X- Ray will only determine the position of the tooth. If the tooth is impacted it should be surgically removed for a permanent relief.

yes it is wisdom tooth. teeth appear at the age of 25 also. you  should have 32 teeths count how many teeth you have now. it will be less than 32.

Dentist, Endodontics Dr. Manisha Rao's  Response
Hi, the last molars on all four quadrants are called wisdom teeth in general. These teeth got the name because their eruption time coincides with the age at which a person is said to become wise.. The normal age of eruption of wisdom teeth is 18-25 years. so your dentist rightly said that the pain is due to eruption of the wisom teeth. Take care!
