Hi, my wisdom tooth started coming threw on my top right hand corner about 4month ago and has not gave me any problem, but about 2weeks ago i noticed a flap of skin hanging down from the outside of my tooth and im not sure what it is could you tell me please?
Thanks for your query, the hanging flap could be an inflamed gum around the erupting tooth called peritonitis. Nothing to worry consult your oral physician and take a radiograph of the tooth, if the tooth is in proper alignment and has sufficient space to erupt then get the hanging flap removed or if the space is insufficient and tooth is in abnormal position get the tooth removed...do slain gargling and can take antibiotic course after consulting your physician. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
