Wisdom tooth bleeding
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?

These are signs of pericoronitis which is inflamed gingiva surrounding an erupting tooth
Mostly seen wrt 3rd molars
Bleeding and pain are most common symptom of this
Visit ur dentist get X-ray done to see wether it’s impacted or not, if impacted go for extraction
Have antibiotics course
And u will be fine
And may req Surgrical excision if it reoccurring

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
