Pain in the root of upcoming 3rd molar
I guess 3rd molar might be coming as a tiny portion is out now. Pain in root of this coming tooth or between 2nd molar is being felt for last 2-3 months. Brushing 2 times a day, warm water intake,alum (Fitkiri) mouthwash, everything I have been doing for getting relief from pain. But no benefit till now.
What may be the cause for this? Is 3rd molar coming out? And yes I smoke too but not heavily. No frequent alcoholic drinks too.
Pls suggest me for fast relief.

The major problem with third molars is that they don't come out properly, and get stuck inside the jaw bone, which causes pain. It's called an impaction.
Next Steps
You can get an OPG, it's a type of X Ray, and visit your nearby dentist. Once the tooth is out, your pain will be relieved.
Health Tips
However, when the procedure is done, you should avoid smoking for 3 to 4 days atleast.

Would advice u to take an opg and upload it so that we can further guide u . If its bothering u much then it's better to get it removed . The procedure is called as disimpaction. But before that take an opg and u need to take a course of antibiotics if d pain is severe .keep that area clean by gurgling with warm saline rinse .
