Wisdom Teeth?

[kaykay3]

Hey there, well I have pain in the back of my mouth like right under the last molar. I'll admit I haven't brushed my teeth very well, but since like 3-4 month ago I've been alot better with it, but I'm only 15 so it couldn't be my wisdom teeth could it? And the pain is right on the bottom of my gum under that tooth and it feels kinda swelled. I'm not sure, maybe I bit my cheek but you can't bite down there so could my tooth be moving because a wisdom tooth is coming in? I have dental check up in November, should I wait until then if the pain is still there? I also haven't done x-rays of my teeth for maybe a year or so...

It sounds like a buccal abscess, but there is a dentist Aber who will give you better advice.

What causes buccal abscess? What's the treatment for it?

What a problem, eh? I bet you are fed up to the back teeth with this!

I've got a wee flap of gum behind my very back tooth, and sometimes food gets trapped under it. It can be really painful and the first time it happened I thought it was a wisdom tooth. The dentist pointed it out to me and advised me to make sure to get right in under it when cleaning my teeth and it seems to have sorted it out.

Try gargling with corsodyl for a couple of days as this can clear up minor infections without needing dental treatment.
