I Think My Wisdom Tooth Is Coming Through But I Am Worried It Could Be Something Serious. Can You Help Me?

Monday, October 28th, 2013
Q.

Hello, right at the back of my mouth where my wisdom tooth would be there is a piece of gum that is inflamed like a little bubble.

It happened a few days ago but went down. Now it has come back again. It is only painful to push on though and is not causing me too much distress at the moment. I also have a filling on to tooth next to it which I’m not sure would make any difference. I’m also suffering with a cold at the minute so I’m unsure as to whether this could affect it either.
I’m assuming it might just be my wisdom teeth coming through as I am 24 years old but I’m worried it could be something serious.

Please help me with this!

Thanks.

My husband’s dental bridge has broken for the third time. Why is this happening?

Q.

Hello Dr.,
My husband has had a temporary 6-tooth bridge fitted (for his front teeth)
however, this bridge has now broken for the third time (even though he is being careful what he eats). The first one that was fitted trapped his gums and was very uncomfortable. The second one broke off at both ends. The third one broke off at one end and at his request, the tooth has been cemented back in, but is cutting into his gum which is now very sore and a little inflamed. Is he right to be extremely nervous about having the permanent one fitted and is he perfectly within his rights to request a temporary that he is happy with first ?
Your input would be much appreciated. Thankyou

I noticed a black line above my tooth and was told I have receding gums. What can I do?

Q.

I have just paid 7,000 pounds to have my top teeth improved with bridge work and porcelain veneers. Work was finished in aug I noticed few weeks ago a black line above tooth. When the hygienist looked she said my gum line is receding. She advised me to use sonic toothbrush nd to massage my gum with gauze in a downward motion. I feel absolutely sick that I need to look at this and it is noticeable when I smile. What can I do. Many thanks
