about a mnth ago my bottom right wisdom tooth was coming through and i ended up with what looked and felt like a blister on the gum. it disappeared after a few days. however for the past 2 weeks i have started biting my cheek on my right hand side whenever i close my mouth due to eating, smiling or talking. is this due to my wisdom tooth and what i can do to stop it as it is very painful when it happens
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The cheek biting and the swelling of the gums over the wisdom tooth could be because of the peritonitis. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out whether sufficient space is there for the wisdom tooth to erupt. If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed. You can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
