hello doctor my name yoselin, im 27. My winsdom tooth seems like its coming out its been hurting little bit since a week ago, my gum is swollen and seems like a gap on it with some blood sometimes it looks really weird and 3 days ago i got a little bump in my tongue a really tiny little bump that it bothers but doesnt hurt as much. what can i do? other than get it removed to avoid infection?
Hi, thanks for your query. The problem you have been suffering is called peritonitis. This is caused due to accumulation of food under gingival of the erupted tooth, resulting in infection of the gingival. Extraction is indicated in this case. The tiny little bump on tongue is oral ulcer which can be cured by having multivitamin tablets. Visit dentist for further treatment. Hope this is helpful.
