hi i had my wisdom teeth pulled out five years ago. i recently went for a dental check up and the dentist said i have an abnormality on my bottom right side where my wisdom tooth was removed,like a bump he said.so he referred me to a specialist..i have no pain and the bump is not visible when i see inside my mouth..what could this be?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The bump over the wisdom tooth region could be a flabby soft tissue or irrational fibrous secondary to irritation from the opposing tooth. Nothing to worry, if it becomes symptomatic then get it surgically removed. It can also occur secondary to any root pieces left while removing the wisdom tooth. Get a radiograph done to rule out this condition. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
