hii.my mame is lizette. a new tooth grew on my top lower back but it is not the wisdom tooth. it had been poking my bottom lower gum . at first I ignored it but then I noticed little white tip so I poped it and something white came out (kind of like a pimple.) the next day (today) I pressed it again and it kind of looked like pus. I was wondering it it is just irritation from the top tooth or something else? please help me I want to know what it is and if I can cure or I have to go to the dentisnt. thanks.
Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. How do you know that it is not wisdom tooth?please mention your age. The new tooth like growth could be a bony outgrowth, a supernumerary(extra)tooth, or it could be a site of infection too, as you have mentioned a white tip there. Please do not worry, but visit your dentist and get it examined clinically or if required radiographically. This will give you exact picture of the underlying pathology.Meanwhile, do warm saline rinses three to four times daily. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
