Wisdom tooth . Unable to open my mouth.
I am getting my wisdom tooth ache and am not able to open my mouth fully. I also have cavities in the adjoining teeth ..i also observed swelling in the jaw line for a couple of days but it’s normal.its been 5 days .Is it normal or I should see a doctor?
Definitely you have to consult dentist
Take x-ray (IOPA)then check for adjacent teeth decay
Then may be adjacent teeth go for root canal treatment depend on severity of decay
If it is not leave it
Then plan for wisdom teeth extraction

It is better to get all cavities filled in due time before the decay reaches the pulp and causes further damage of tooth structure.
Also get your wisdom tooth evaluated and get it treated if it needs to.
Health Tips
Do not wait for another episode of swelling. Wisdom tooth can be quite notorious and the swelling and pain associated with it are quite painful
