Hello doctor,
I am in major pain now. I noticed that my wisdom tooth is coming in about a week and a half ago. Since then I have been having this pain in the lower corner of my left mouth. It is located right where the gums and my mouth meet and resembles a cut. It is a slit with yellow and white outside and a brown on the inside. I would like to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. I would very much appreciate a reply soon because this thing made me stressed out. Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Your pain occurs due to the infected gingiva surrounding the wisdom tooth. It is called pericoronitis.
- You need to start on antibiotics immediately along with painkillers.
- Go show it to a dentist soon who will either recommend you to extract the tooth or do a small surgical procedure to remove the overhanging flap posterior to the wisdom tooth.
- The procedure suitable for you can be said only by at least seeing a picture or x-ray of the area involved.
- Use warm saline gargle two to three times daily which will give you some relief till you show it to your dentist.
