I had my wisdom teeth removed like more than 5 years ago and like two mornings ago i woke up and in the back of my mouth where they took my wisdom teeth my gum has split apart. It looks like i lost a tooth and it feels like i have been punched in the face. i just wonder if something isnt trying to come through, so like i said can wisdom teeth grow back?

absolutely not. It's possible your dentist was a complete retard, and didn't properly remove the roots, and now it's infected, but it seems like it would get infected a lot faster then 5 years. You probably just have some sort of gum infection

I do know that sometimes after having them removed, little shards of the tooth are left in the gum, and it's only time before they have to work their way out. It's quite common, and it hurts pretty badly. Your best bet is going to the dentist, and for the pain, use a bit of orajel.

Absolutely not. When there pulled their gone for good. However, in your case part of a root may have been broken off and left behind during the time of your first extraction. See your dentist and get it removed.

go get evaluated.. rarely people have more than one set of wisdom teeth but your doc could have told you that before your surgery... because the are usally visible in the xrays. most likey an infection... or peices migrating out.
