well as a child my dentist told me I would never get wisdom teeth. Nowprob a year or so ago I did have a very small wisdom tooth break the skin. It didnt hurt and never grew in completely. Today I noticed a hole at the gum line of this tooth. What could it be? Im thinking maybe cavity but im confused because there wasnt a hole before and its not painful at all.
Hello, The hole at the gum line could be because of the erupting third molar. The symptoms of decayed teeth are black discoloration, food lodgment, sensitivity. If it is decay, then you can get the teeth restored with a tooth color restorative materials. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt, then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed. If space is not available, then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed. You can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole twice a day for five days (if you are not allergic). Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
