A member asked:
Is it normal to have flap of skin where my wisdom tooth is coming in?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, but: Yes, but food can get caught under the flap. Impossible to clean well. Can lead to problems in tooth next to wisdom tooth. For best results, make sure you are evaluated and treated by a board certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon.
