Wisdom tooth bleeding

2022-11-24 03:05:48
So my wisdom tooth on the left side behind the third molar bleeds frequently. It happens mostly early in the morning after I wake up and then it stays for a few spits but after brushing it goes way. Now I don't pain now but in the past there was a throbbing pain while chewing. What it could be?

you might have infected and inflamed gums behind your wisdom tooth. do warm salt water gargle and visit your nearest oral surgeon or dentist. they will prescribe you antibiotics.

If your wisdom tooth is decayed or impacted, get it removed. Take antibiotics along with analgesics to relieve pain. You can consult through this for further details.

Its also pericoronitis.. The gums around it is inflammed. If its not fully erupted get it removed before it starts to decay and start troubling you. A consultation with a dentist would be apt.

It is because ,the 3rd molar is not erupted properly and is cris-crossed, because of that the food gets stuck easily causing the gums around that tooth to swell(inflammed) and in most cases to over grow, what we try to do is cut the extra grown gums(operculectomy), if this complaint happens again and again we may have to remove the 3rd molar
