Can infection cause pain in erupting wisdom tooth?
Hi doctor,
I have two wisdom teeth erupting, and I am worried one of them is getting infected on the left side. I am also worried that I might be getting a cavity under the cap of the molar teeth. And I feel that they have to be taken out, as they are five to six years old. I have attached a photo of the erupting wisdom teeth and the molar tooth cap.

I got a wisdom tooth extracted five days back, why is it still bleeding?
Hi doctor,
I had a wisdom tooth removed five days back. It was bleeding heavily until two days ago, but now the bleeding has mostly gone. But, it bleeds when I brush my teeth. Is there anything to do other than to put padded pressure on the void of the tooth?

I had a tooth replacement done in my lower front teeth one year back. It is permanent. Now it is smelling bad and the gum is irritating and kind of itchy. What causes this? And do I need to visit a dentist? Or is this normal?

What causes the pain, swelling, and mucus around my wisdom tooth?
Hello doctor,
I have swelling and a burning sensation in the right back region of my mouth. It huts randomly or when I brush my teeth. There are white patches on it and a cut-like lesion on the side. It also produces a mucus-like substance that tastes awful. I tried the salt and water remedy, which provided temporary relief but caused significant discomfort. What could be the cause of these symptoms? Please help.
Thank you.
