Hi,Im 18 now and my wisdom tooth has only just stared to grown and show a little bit but just recently from the pain of the wisdom tooth growing i started to chew the skin on the inside of my mouth over the sore gum on top of the wisdom tooth and this has caused my skin to stretch a little out over my wisdom and molar teeth. So every time i eat, smile or talk i end up biting the skin over my teeth which causes extreme pain and also my wisdom tooth seems to grow normally but there is a bit of sore gum on the side of my wisdom tooththat i havent chewed or bitten which is causing lots of pain when i touch it and doesnt feel right. Shall i see my dentist regarding this or is this normal with wisdome teeth growth? Thank you.
Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query as you have sore gum around wisdom tooth don't be worried so many sore gums is due to erupting wisdom tooth this is due to Pericoronotis. I will suggest you to do warm saline rinses 2 -3 times a day, and you can apply gum paint on sore gums. If your pain and soreness persists you should consult oral surgeon for curettage and oral prophylaxis. Hope this will help you.
