I hv pain in open pockets of my left lower wisdom tooth which is only 10% out..Doc suggest me to remove upper wisdom tooth which is healthy n no pain.i hv doubt whether removing upper wisdom tooth will help

1 Answers

ur doc must have told this coz upeer wisdom tooth must be hurting gums covering ur lower wisdom tooth,...if the reason is this then follow dr.or else if u have doubt then go to another dentist see wat he says coz there is another reason during eruption period of wisdom tooth gums wich r covering wisdom tooth becomes tendor..painful.so i think instead of extracting upper one y dont we go with lower wisdom tooth....

Hello i had my no 48 wisdom tooth removed on thursday morning and its been nearly 3 days now. What i wanted to know was i have noticed yesterday and today that the gum which had folded over the extraction site has receeded and left behind a thin white strand of tissue. is this a normal part of the healing process. I am not in any pain and have not smoked since the day of extraction (before). Also i know your advice will be to stop permanently but how long should i wait till i can smoke again
