Hi, Cutegirl20.

I experienced something very similar. Basically, my molar was coming and part of it was covered with my gums and the other part was trying to come out of my gums. It hurt because the tooth is growing through your gums. It hurt when I ate anything on that tooth, especially fried chicken.  From my experience, it is not serious. We all grow molars. The pain is probably coming from your gums. Take some pain medication.

As for your second molar, it takes a while, but it will break through the gum and your pain will be gone. You will then have another pearly white.


Hope you feel Better!

Sounds like your wisdom tooth could be impacted. No biggie. Schedule an appointment with a Dental Professional and he will tell you the deal. Either way, it is coming out.
