A member asked:
I looked my teeth and i believe my wisdom teeth are coming in but i saw a white spot and my jaw is very sore and that spot is so are they coming in???
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wisdom teeth: Yes its possible thats the wisdom tooth popping in but the soreness may be related to what we call pericornitis which is inflammation of the gum around it as it pokes thru or can be related to a gum infection around the erupting tooth. best to have a dentist check it before it worsens.
