Weird sensation in mouth

[Anxiety Riddled]

Hello, I’ve been dealing with wisdom teeth pain for a few months now that has just gotten progressively worse. I noticed once my bottom wisdom teeth started trying to grow in more I get this uncomfortable sensation in my mouth (oddly enough it’s only really if I fall asleep). When I wake up I get this pressure feeling in all of my teeth (side and front, mostly in the bottom teeth) it almost feels numb in a sense. What could be causing this? I don’t know if the wisdom teeth are pushing on a nerve but it’s getting very uncomfortable and I’d like to maybe find a way to get some relief. I don’t have my removal appointment until the end of May (which unfortunately was the first available). I’m just really struggling and I’m at the point where it is waking me up from my sleep every day.

Are you clenching/grinding in your sleep? It might be your TMJ acting up a bit.

I was wondering that myself. I have a feeling I could definitely be clenching/grinding in my sleep due to the fact that my mouth has been uncomfortable and stressing me out for the past few months. I’ve been hyper focused on it which causes me to try to be extra careful and in turn I feel like I am causing more issues.
