When your second molars (or \u201cwisdom teeth\u201d) don\u2019t have enough room to grow comfortably, they can become what we call impacted. Impacted wisdom teeth are essentially crowded or hidden behind other teeth and are unable to break through the gums. Fortunately, not everyone has issues with their wisdom teeth growing in, but for those who do, it can be incredibly painful and have lasting negative impacts on your oral health. Unfortunately, most people don\u2019t realize their wisdom teeth are growing until they experience pain. Because of this, a lot of people need to get them removed in order to avoid needing future surgery. If you\u2019re reading this article because you already have pain<\/a> from impacted wisdom teeth and want to know how to stop the pain at night as soon as possible, keep reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Symptoms of impacted wisdom teeth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pain when eating<\/strong> – Since the teeth are blocked and unable to break through the gums, eating can cause a lot of pain. Some people even experience bleeding and a lot of discomforts when eating certain foods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swelling and redness<\/strong> – As the infection and inflammation from impacted teeth spread, the gums and cheek near the jawline will often swell up and become red. <\/p>\n\n\n

Tenderness and pressure<\/strong> – The gums near an impacted tooth will feel tender and sensitive. Sometimes the tooth will feel like it\u2019s digging into the gums, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bad breath<\/strong> – Infected gums can cause bad breath and an unpleasant smell coming from your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why does it hurt so much to sleep with impacted teeth?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since eating can be very painful, it\u2019s natural to want to sleep off the pain. Unfortunately, it\u2019s not that easy. Sleeping can be a huge source of pain for those dealing with impacted wisdom teeth<\/a>. Not only do you have to deal with the pain of eating, but the pressure of the teeth in your gums can be unbearable, too. There are a couple of different reasons this happens. First, the top of the mouth is actually connected to the sinuses, which are on the roof of your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
