Hi
My wisdom tooth at my left jaw corner is not grown normal as like others and it was stucked as cross position and it's not hurting but what i have noticed is thé rotten smell is coming from the small gap in the jaw side .. there is a small gap between the tooth and gum and it's smelling very bad
Could u please assist what is the best solution to prevent this by avoiding the extraction
Answers (1)
I understand your concern about avoiding extraction. However, a horizontally impacted wisdom tooth can trap food and bacteria, causing bad breath, gum infection and possible damage to the adjacent tooth.
I recommend an in-clinic dental examination and an OPG X-ray to evaluate the exact position of your wisdom tooth.
We will assess whether the tooth can be treated conservatively or whether surgical removal is necessary. Our priority is to preserve your natural tooth whenever safely possible.
Please visit our clinic for a proper evaluation and a personalized treatment plan. We will guide you towards the safest and most suitable treatment option.
