A member asked:
I can feel a piece of tooth at the back of jaw. is this my wisdom tooth coming out?

Could be: Maybe it is angled so it will never fully come in. It may need to come out, as it may be causing a problem that you may or may not be aware of yet.

Probably yes: See your dentist to evaluate its eruption and treatment options.
