Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I refused to get my wisdom teeth taken out, and now there is a tiny white lump next to my bottom left wisdom tooth that feels like the meat moving out of the way for another tooth, but it just looks like a white bump. Is this a sign of something serious? Please advise.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

Please send an image of the respective lesion. The third molar comes in the last. Sometimes it creates problems during the eruption. You did not even tell me if you have any pain or not. kindly follow below suggestions,

  1. Do not eat too hot or spicy food.
  2. Do not touch the affected area and make proper oral hygiene.
  3. Consult a dentist, discuss with them, and take the medication with their consent.

Please follow up for further assistance.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
