| Description: | They are believed to have served an evolutionary purpose when tougher diets often meant loss of teeth at an earlier age and they would erupt to help with the deficit. For this reason, in our day and age they can be surplus to requirements and we often do not have space for them to erupt. For most people, they will erupt and only cause mild discomfort as they come through. For others they will cause considerable pain. Some of the symptoms you might experience include: pain around your gums, difficulty opening mouth, bleeding/tender gums, pus coming from the gums and possibly swollen glands near the area. |
