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.
