[|Human|] I have my wisdom tooth for 8 years now. But 10 days ago I felt some pain there, well not really pain,just annoying feeling that you get when a tooth falls out as it does in your childhood. So I felt the tooth with my finger and I felt that it was wobbling. My question is can a wisdom tooth fall out on Its own? So started to play around with my tooth hoping to make it more loose to fall out. But now my gums around the tooth is starting to get more painful. So I felt my gums to see where the pain is coming from and I could feel a very sore lump high above the wisdom tooth. What is this lump,should I have this lump when my wisdom tooth has been erupted for a while? Or is it because my wisdom tooth has come out abit and wobbling?
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for posting your query. The lump overlying inflamed periodontal flap is due to the inflammation surrounding erupting wisdom teeth. Frequent warm saline and Betadine gargle will relieve pain and infection. Clinical and x-ray examination of the inflamed area will help to decide the treatment. Tooth has to be either extracted or flap overlying tooth has to be removed to enhance tooth eruption, depending on the space available for tooth eruption. Take complete course of antibiotics-analgesics as per dentists prescription. Hope this helps.
