<human>: Hi. I am 17 years old and think that my second wisdom tooth is coming in, as I began to feel it yesterday. I do have a throat infection and just attributed the soreness in my jaw to be because of the illness but now I feel a little bit of an outer dent in my jaw. The problem is, I am going on vacation tomorrow for 5 days. If it is a wisdom tooth, will it be detrimental to my health if I dont get it treated in the next week?
