When there is no space for the wisdom tooth to grow (because your jaw bone is smaller than normal), it gets trapped.

Bacteria that are collecting under the wisdom tooth flap then cause a major infection leading to swelling of the area and severe wisdom teeth pain.

Additionally, the wisdom tooth that is opposing the one with the flap also hits on the flap that is swollen and causes trauma to the site, causing further wisdom tooth pain.
