Avatar n tn My wisdom tooth is the one in front of the white patch. My wisdom tooth is pulled to the front from my braces after losing a tooth from a previous accident. Thank you for your help. Btw I just went to the dentist for a clean literally two days ago and dentist said my teeth are fine. Swollen gums started today. http://tinypic.

Avatar m tn he suggest if i extract the tooth beside the wisdom tooth (which is like only half expose from the gum), that might give the wisdom tooth space to grow, thus relieving the pain...so i did... After a week or so, the wound is ok and the gum starts to grow back... just when it seems like everything is going fine....i felt pain again... the pain was not from the wound area..it seems to come from the 2-3 teeths beside the extracted tooth... the pain was like inside the gum...
Avatar n tn I also told her I have swollen gums caused my a wisdom tooth, and said the swollen lymph nodes could be caused by that! Is that true?
Avatar f tn why do I have my gums swollen on the lower right where the last wisdom tooth is at ? I also fill a lump in the curve where my gums end and cheek start. Its been three days now and is not going away.
Avatar f tn One day my left eye swelled and has been watery ever since then I notice a few weeks later like 2 that I was getting terrible pain in the back of my mouth. My gums felt swollen and I think they bled alittle. They are my wisdom teeth I went to a dentist but ever since I feel feverish. I have a low grade fever a lot. My teeth are killing me all the time well the wisdom teeth. Does this sound like from my wisdom teeth coming through?
Avatar n tn I suggest that you go to the dentist to check it out and more than likely he/she will also want to extract the tooth. Most people like myself once the wisdom teeth start breaking through the gums we get them extratced because they cause nothing but problems and get pulled out anyway. So please see the dentist because if you have an infection and it is not taken care of properly you can cause alot of probelms and especially with your sinuses.
Avatar f tn Iv had swollen bleeding gums all through my pregnancies it's normal it's uncomfy and a pain but itl go away after u have ur baby
Avatar f tn They would try to break through my gums, leaving me with swollen, aching gums. I would chew gum all the time just to give myself something to do - plus, for some reason, it would take the 'edge' off the pain. I went through that for several months until I had them all out at once. I was 17 and quite relieved. As long as that tooth stays where it is, there is the chance that it will apply pressure to the teeth nearby and cause shifting.
Avatar n tn I have a bad smell and taste coming from the tooth.Plus it is so swollen that it feels like I have a hard bump on my gum underneath that tooth.My question is.Does this sound like it is infected or abcess?I'm very worried because I am hearing all these crazy stories,like the infection could go to your brain.Is that true?I am going to go in to the dentist soon.But I figured I would take a antibiotic for it before hand to save money.I am taking clindamycin.Will this help.
Avatar m tn I have the feel it is my wisdom tooth trying to force its way in and moving the teeth on the right side. If i poke around the back on the areas i think i can actually feel the tooth under the gums. I am guessing that isnt good. Is that scenario possible?
Avatar n tn I have a swollen like bump on my gum on the bottom row in the front.... it is very tender and sore... this morning when i woke up it was leaking pus what can it be?? it feels like my wisdom teeth are pushing everything forward and the two teeth are crammed.... could it be a cold sore??
Avatar f tn My wisdom tooth came in a week ago and my gums were very swollen and I couldn’t open my mouth all the way. Now the swelling is down, I’m able to eat again, and the pain is gone. But I am still not able to open my mouth all the way. What can I do to fix this?
Avatar f tn On the bottom left of my mouth behind the last tooth the gums hurt really bad, even if I eat just a banana. Could it be my wisdom tooth? How do I tell? Or do I just have to wait it out?
1442269 tn?1286744897 4 mos ago I recieved oral sex from a person I didn't know. Im actually paranoid (I don't mean any disrespect) well I have a swollen partoid. I guess where my jaw would meet skull. I think it's a salivary gland because my mouth is dry. After that exposure I got real paranoid and looked in my mouth and saw 2 cavities. The gum is tender on that tooth (wisdom) and it's on the same side.
Avatar n tn My question is that ever since I have quit smoking and had my wisdom tooth taken out, I've noticed soreness in my upper back area, and on the lower mollars there is blackening around my crowns. My mouth has a bad taste and odor to it as well. I've been using an electric tooth brush, and floss alone with listerine. Do I need to make another dentist apt. or is there something I can do to get rid of the blackness and odor?
Avatar n tn On 3/21 and got my (lower right)wisdom tooth removed. I followed the instructions that the dentist gave me and took the appropriate perscriptions and pain killers etc. I went back to the dentist on 3/27 to get my stitches removed only to find that my stitches were gone already. (I don't think that they were the kind that dissolves)This did not seem to alarm my dentist at all.
Avatar n tn ve had labs done, saw an ent, had a scope done, saw a dentist, saw my pcp..no answers. I have swollen gums where my wisdom tooth would be on the lower right side, my neck hurts on that side, I feel like I have something in my throat, and my ear hurts when I swallow. It's worse when I'm stuffed up. My jaw hurts sometimes too.
Avatar m tn I just had my last three baby teeth pulled, and they told me to only eat soft foods, so last night I stupidly ate popcorn, not even thinking about it, and now I have a small piece stuck in one of the holes where they pulled the tooth from. It isn't swollen, and it doesn't hurt too bad, I just want it out. How am I supposed to get the piece of popcorn out of my gums?
Avatar n tn Also, the gum is swollen near my wisdom tooth, which is two teeth behind where the crown was placed. Not red or anything, but puffy & tender.
Avatar n tn The flap of skin is called an operculum, and is normal for a partially erupted tooth. The wisdom tooth most likely will not erupt fully and remain impacted. This somewhat submerged tooth will at times get infected and be very painful. You will need to have it evaluated and extracted soon.
568875 tn?1424397205 the crappy thing is the wisdom tooth that is coming in is on the side with the swelling so i have to take extra care of it. and have to take abx. this stinks...
Avatar f tn 2 days back i got pain in my swollen gums and i got puss and bleeding from that portion. after that the gums are lightly swollen and there is no pain now. i did'nt visited the dentist. can i get infection in my gums? what to do as a first aid and when should i visit the dentist? i also got root canal treatment for the tooth above which i got this gum problem.is there any problem because of the tooth ? the swollen gums are not exactly near the tooth. it is near the bones on the upper side.
1477436 tn?1287317905 It's a good chance that is what it is. A couple of Advil or Alleve should help. Keep an eye on it, and it might be worth getting an x ray of, just to be sure it's the wisdom tooth, if you have pain for many more days.
