I have a Canker Sore on my upper right cheek and also a part of my top right wisdom tooth chipped off. The whole wisdom tooth hasn t come out yet but i was wondering if the canker sore was caused by wisdom tooth chipping, is it a sign of infection? I have no pain in the wisdom tooth area and the sore seems to be going away. Do i need to go to the dentist to get the tooth removed? Because the rest of my wisdom teeth are growing just fine.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The canker sore is not related to the chipped wisdom tooth. Usually it occurs secondary to stress or nutritional deficiency. Nothing to be panic, you can take a topical anesthetic like lidocaine and topical analgesic like choline salicylate. Do saline gargling and lead a stress-free life. Regarding your wisdom tooth, you need to get a radiograph done to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed. If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
