Hi, I was just brushing my teeth 10 minutes ago and while I was brushing my tongue I gagged (which is normal for me). After that gag, so white stuff appeared far back in my gums stuck inside a whole/opening. I pushed it out by pressing beside it. White stinky stuff that felt soft came out. Is this an infection or what
Hi. Thanks for the query. As there was stinky white stuff from a hole in the gum in the very back region of mouth, then it is most probably due to the hole from which wisdom tooth is about to erupt. Many a time if the wisdom tooth is impacted the hole or opening is formed in the gum, but the tooth does not erupt and there is food lodgment in that area. So my suggestion is to consult a Dentist if there is any problem and get an x-ray of the area done. If the wisdom tooth is impacted and if there is any problem repeatedly like infection and bad smell you can get the tooth extracted. As of now always gargle after meals and do not let food accumulate in that area. Hope this helps. Regards.
