Wisdom tooth pain
Having Wisdom tooth pain for two weeks. First had the pain on my right and it's ok now. Again now continuous pain started on left side of tooth and sometimes I feel teeth tingling badly and jaw pain. I guesss it's popping out not sure. I so scared about tooth extraction. Is that the only option if there is a problem with wisdom teeth? My upper wisdom tooth is causing all this

Hello. Kindly share a photograph of the concerned region.
You require an OPG (full mouth x-ray)
Depending on the status, position, and line of eruption of the tooth, we can decide the treatment options.
Kindly visit a dentist for definitive diagnosis and treatment

You need to get an OPG( Kind of x ray) in which actual position of all wisdom tooth will be seen. After that only can say anything.
See discomfort and pain are common for erupting wisdom tooth, but if their is any hinderence in the erupting pathways then you need to get it extracted.
Warm saline water rinses two to three times a day, apply ice pack from outside mouth over effected area.
Still have queries then please consult with doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.
