Is it possible for wisdom tooth in upper jaw to come down and occupy the extracted site in lower jaw?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

When a tooth is extracted, the opposing tooth tends to compensate by over erupting, since there is no stop for the tooth to rest on. This is called as supra eruption.

From your query and the details provided, it looks like your upper wisdom tooth is supra erupting and is infected. The only option is to get that tooth removed. If the pain is quite disturbing, you can take mild painkillers like Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) or try warm saline mouth rinses thrice daily.

During this pandemic (Covid-19), dental offices are instructed to provide emergency care only. So minimal and non-emergency procedures are generally postponed three weeks later for now. You can call your dentist or the nearest dental office and get an appointment if the pain becomes unbearable.

I hope this helps.
