my back left wisdom tooth has been coming in for over a year and i noticed a sore on the back wall on the left side of my mouth, next to tonsils.. the sore is oval shaped, looks like a hole , kind of pink/flesh colored. i went to ER and they gave me antibiotics. its been a week and i don t see it getting any smaller. the doctor said it doesn t look like cancer . eventuality they told me its a mouth ulcer and to take augmentin.. but on the discharge papers it says antibiotics don t cure mouth ulcers.. any hep.. i have always grinned my teeth when i sleep
Hi.visit your dentist... he will irrigate and clean the area with saline and antiseptic... and he will grind any sharp corner of the tooth irritating your ulcerated area... antibiotics and painkillers will be prescribed... after you got relieved from the symptoms, X-ray should be taken... in case, there is enough space for your wisdom tooth to come, it will be allowed to erupt normally or after a small procedure called operculectomy...otherwise it has to be extracted...take care....
