Pain: Anytime one experiences pain in their mouth, they should see a dentist to see what&#x27;s causing it. It takes time for the socket and tissues to heal and mature following the removal of teeth. Whether or not it&#x27;s normal or the cause of you discomfort would require a personal one-on-one clinical exam.

See dentist: You need to see a dentist to have the wisdom tooth and gingiva evaluated to determine proper treatment of the situation. You might need to have the tooth extracted. Don't procrastinate to allow the infection to spread and cause other problems.

Question 3

what are these bumps i keep getting on the back part of my gums where my wisdom teeth supposed to grow?

Accepted Answer

Infection?: Are the wisdom teeth still present?  If so, it could be the teeth erupting.  At age 41, it is unlikely.   There is a space between the last tooth and gum, it is easy to get food and bacteria in there and cause a minor infection.
You need to have it checked out.

How long ago: was the tooth removed? Have the surgeon who removed the tooth follow up and address your concerns.

Accepted Answer

: In the US wisdom teeth erupt between 17-21 years. In other countries [WEST AFRICA]  I have seen third molars erupt at 15 -18 years of age when I do forensic age determination x-rays. If impacted and area swollen, best have them extracted to avoid future complications.

Question 7

i got all four of my wisdom teeth pulled 4 year's ago and a couple days ago a bump appeared  on a socket and it's kind of sensitive, what is it?

Accepted Answer

See dentist: It will take a dental exam with X-ray to find out what is causing this bump and the best treatment.  Schedule an appointment ASAP.

Question 8

i have red soft bump on my gum where your wisdom teeth would grow. mine haven't grown in yet. it doesn't hurt unless i bite down. help? (female, 16)

Accepted Answer

See your dentist: Go to the dentist and have the dentist radiograph all four wisdom teeth to make sure that they are coming in correctly and there is adequate room.  It sounds like you have an emerging wisdom tooth, which can be painful. Get it checked out.

Question 9

got all four wisdom teeth pulled the same night i notice small, white, sandlike bumps on lips. painless, don't itch but feel like sandpaper, what is it?

Accepted Answer

Dry lips?: It is likely just chapped lips, with the recent extreme changes in ga weather, your lips were probably dry and since the wisdom teeth are difficult to reach, your lips were likely stretched and chapped.  Keep them moist with vaseline or chapstick and  see your surgeon if it does not feel better once you do this.

Question 10

do your gums feel sore and with a white bump when wisdom teeth?are ?growing?

Accepted Answer

Wisdom Teeth: Yes, the gum over the wisdom tooth may be sore, and a white bump on the gum tissue may indicate an infection. These are very common findings with impacted wisdom teeth, which it sounds like you have. You should see your dentist or an oral surgeon for evaluation and treatment. You may require treatment with antibiotics, but almost certainly the impacted wisdom tooth/teeth will need to be removed.
