Hello doctor,Got a piece of gum basically flapping over my bottom, back left wisdom and this is causing some pain and also causing some food particles to get stuck. Is this dangerous?
Hello. You might need a small surgical procedure to remove this flap of tissue from over the wisdom tooth to allow proper cleaning of the area if the wisdom tooth itself has space to grow. If it does not have space enough, then the wisdom tooth may have to be removed. Please send clear pictures of the area to help me diagnose further and guide to the best treatment option for you. Use warm salt water gargle twice a day for a week or two along with an antibiotic gel.
