get a radiograph done for the area of the concerned wisdom molar. Antibiotics for the time being will be done. Warm saline mouthwashes will help.

Dr. Sandeep Gadakh answered : 10 years ago

Get an X ray done. It will suggest if there is any need to get the wisdom tooth removed or not. Antibiotics can be taken temporarily. Warm water and salt gargles are advised after every meal. Keep that area clean.

Dr. Darshan Parikh answered : 10 years ago

it could be because of A) the tooth being infected - in which case and Xray and extraction would be recommended
or B)just a local gum swelling - in which case medication may help relieve symptoms. if really severe and recurrent you may go in for the excision of that swollen part so as to prevent this from happening repeatedly

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

Doctor's Answer
