I was brushing my teeth (I have braces by the way) yesterday and I noticed that behind one of my wisdom teeth (still growing) that it was bleeding but I thought it was nothing big. The next day (today) I brushed that area and there was no bleeding. I still went to the mirror to check that area and now I see some small rock like thing in my gum next to the wisdom tooth . There isnt any pain or anything and I think use a little bit of force I may be able to pull it out....I am positive that it is not food. Should I be worried about this? Should I take it out?
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorI read you query & would like to clarify that bleeding can be due to some food lodgment in associated area. In case of orthodontic treatment you need to take special care of your oral hygiene.Don't experiment anything by your own & when you go for next appointment get it checked.Meanwhile, start using 0.2%chlorhexidine mouthwash 10ml half an hour after brushing. Maintain proper oral hygiene as well. Take Disregards Chat Doctor.
