It might mean the tooth, or the gums, are infected.

You can't stop it with medication. Go see a dentist to check it out.

Gargle salt water.

Apply Gengigel and gargle with the mouthwash for the moment.

I heard they charge just $10 for a filling or extracton.

That's why I don't dare take out my lower right wisdom to this day.

The 8th hearing nerve (I have tinnitus) and 9th facial nerve also runs nearby there.

If it is not causing any problems, leave it alone.

You could ask a dentist to fill up the cleavage there, to prevent tiny food particles
from falling in, causind insidious bone loss at the bottom.

I had been doing that for many years, after the second molar in front
of it had a root canal done, due to the wisdom impacting on it and corroding it.

However, the dentist outside my house persuaded me to crown the second
molar, which I now regret, as it has made me $ 1,000 poorer for nothing.

After he crowned it, he did not want to fill up that ravine or cleavage, cos he
said the tooth needed to ''breathe'' thru the gap there.

Now I have to find another dentist to do that.

What about the upper right and left? I recently have this it's still growing out. I don't think it can be removed yet because only the tip is out of the surface.

sorry... din see this earlier on... I assume you are referring to me. Yes. Your inferior dental nerve is damaged or severed. Happens to 1-2% of wisdom teeth surgeries.

Are you feeling numbness or altered sensation around your lip? Is the affected area getting smaller over the months? If the nerve is damaged(pressure, pulling, stretching, compressed) during surgery, it should recover over a few months... some takes as long as 18 months. If after 18 months you still have the numbness then it's most probably gonna be permanent...... as for severed nerve, it almost never recover.

upper wisdom teeth are the easiest to remove...... 5 sec job....

that's one of the reasons why you should have removed your wisdom tooth as soon as possible. If not, it will cause the molar next to it to go bad. patching up the gap between that 2 teeth will make things worst.

Yes, that was why that first dentist did the root canal on the second molar,
way back in 1994.

He was supposed to have followed up with removing the wisdom then.

But then I have tinnitus, that is why I have not dared to touch the wisdom
to this day.

I have heard too many horror stories about complications after surgery on
the wisdom.

It's already been 20 years anyway.


Different dentists have different opinions though. Pristine Dentist in Jalan SS 3/39,
quite famous too, said filling up the gap between the two molar was a good
thing to prevent food dropping in.

Now this other dentist who had crowned that second molar, Firdaus Dental nearby
in Jalan SS 1/22, doesn't want to fill up that crevice. He says food will still get trapped
there, but it would just slide off the crown and won't be able to drop in.

the only nerve that's close enough to warrant a knee jerk reaction is the inferior dental nerve and the lingual nerve..... dun have to worry about tinnitus....

filling up the gap will give you false sense of security.... food will still get in and you won't be able to clean that area..... at the end, the molar will have to be extracted.... I've seen lodsa such cases.....

btw, Dr Firdaus is a oral surgeon too.....

DrBarbarian,

In the case of lower wisdom tooth extraction with gum incision, is it necessary to take antibiotics after the oral surgery?

nope. unless there's any underlying condition that warrants it..... I almost never prescribe antibiotic for all my extractions and surgical procedures......

The dentist who persuaded me to crown the second molar and performed it
was Dr Yogesh, a younger dentist, presumably under part-time contract there.
He is normally in one of the bigger practices in Bangsar.

But after 40 of pills and antibiotic pills the pain is no more, but i cant use my right teeth
