Based on your OPG, your lower right third molar is not in its normal position, and the nerve is located close to the root tip. This makes the extraction slightly more complex. The only permanent treatment option is extraction, which may involve potential complications such as paresthesia (temporary loss of sensation in the jaw). However, the procedure will help alleviate pain and restore normal jaw function. With proper recovery, you should be completely fine. Do visit nearby maxillo-facial surgeon for the treatment!

Hi,
The lower right wisdom tooth could be causing the symptomatic pain mentioned. Permanent solution is removal of the wisdom tooth.
