ok, so im going to try this again.. Wisdom Tooth Thing..?

Question

okkk well- since i got a redicilous answer before about how im "going to die" i decided to be more spacific.
I got my wisdom tooth gut pulled three years ago
a chipped my back left molar bc of tooth decay- i got it filled over the summer. a month later my gum where my wisdome tooth used to be swelled up (let me keep in mind that the tooth that got chipped doesnt hurt at all- i pushed on it wiggeled it-nothing.) the swelling went away, it came back again a few months later- went away again. and it came back yesterday morning.. only a little worse. the only thing that these three times have in commin is that when it swelles- i usually have a cold & a soar throat. (no glands, just a mild cold)... and i dont have a temperature.. Any ideas other then " YOUR GOING TO DIE!" ??

yeah so i went to the dentist friday- and apparently there was a peice of old filling caught underneath the gum- it had to be cut out- and omgggg did it hurttttt. but thankgod there was no infection! Thanks guys for all you helppp!

Answer 1

A boss of mine had almost the exact same thing. She had an absess (not sure about the spelling there!) Anyway she waited so long to see about it that it got really infected and she to have that tooth pulled. Go to your dentist asap...forget the dr because the dentist will know better about what's going on in your mouth. Good luck!

Answer 2

Where my wisdom teeth used to be is always swollen but not sore. I suspect your gums are simply swollen in the back of your mouth if you are fighting an infection. I don't know you or your situation, and I hate to be the one to tell you that one day you WILL die, but probably not from the gums where your wisdom teeth used to be. Check with a dentist if your gums are sore - you could have gingivitis.

Answer 3

there is a chance that there is still bone or tooth fragments in your gum trying to surface. i had a similar prob years ago. i dont know if it is something you need to have removed professionally or not i guess it depends on your pain threshold. Is the pain just a sore gum and some pressure? Mine worked its way out over some time. hope this was helpful... My dentist said its not uncommon for fragments to be left behind following an extraction..

Answer 4

it truly is regular. The teeth purely trys to push it is way through your gums and some factors will come through more beneficial than the different factors. understanding tooth are meant to be a lot more beneficial painful and take longer to come back in so i'd not worry about it. human beings can get them bumped off reason they could reason issues like toothache and stuff, so it would not fairly be nessacery until eventually it become causing you hardship, because you're in trouble-free words teething at recent i'd not see a dentist until eventually then.

Answer 5

I don't know what to tell you but I would say go see a doctor. I had my wisdom teeth pulled and I can't imagine what your saying is anything good. I'm wondering if you have an infection that when your immune system is compromised shows itself? I wouldn't hold off on this - no I don't think your going to die, that was just stupid but I do think you should have it looked at by a regular doctor.

Answer 6
