Tooth ache
I am having toothache in wisdom teeth and attaching my xray. Please let me know what to do. Pain is there every now then.
The wisdom teeth have erupted but with not enough space in the jaw., so If you get pain often, you should get them removed. Start with the one that's troubling you the most.
Next Steps
Till then,do warm salt water gargles whenever you can and try and keep the area around the wisdom teeth clean.

Going by the Xray , all the four wisdom teeth have insufficient space to be retained in the jaws.. As a result there is no self cleansing mechanism which is possible with correctly aligned teeth
As a result, food & debris is retained, accumulated, leading to bacterial infection . Gum swelling, pain and toothache due to cavities is common.
Next Steps
Extraction of wisdom teeth, though not all at once.. is the only valid option.
Health Tips
This is one of the most common dental problems on earth.. so nothing to worry.. choose a skillful specialist.
