How long would it okay to wait for tissue over wisdom tooth to go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It varies: A wisdom tooth is just another tooth erupting in your mouth. It could take weeks to months depending on the rate of eruption of the tooth. Some wisdom teeth never fully erupt and you may develop soft tissue problems. If the area becomes sore rinse with salt water and see your dentist.
