A member asked:
I have a flap on my back tooth does it only happen if you don't look after your teeth or is it a natural problem?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Natural problem: Probably a wisdom tooth that doesnt have enough room to erupt. Ask your dentist about whether or not it should be extracted

It is normal: Partial eruption of a wisdom tooth can create a flap of gum tissue. If concerned see your dentist for consultation.
