[|Human|] Hi, my apologies this is maybe more for a dentist but this opportunity has arisen, thanks to people like you. I have a wisdom tootChatDoctoring through on my bottom left jaw, its been coming through for over a year, recently more of the tooth has come through and a piece of my back gum is still covering the back end of the tooth, the cheek that is slightly encroaching it is a little painful along with the gum, when i brush my teeth-specifically this one, it does bleed but there is a fair amount of gum movement. I am concerned a piece of food may get stuck under the gum and cause me problems, my latest dentist appointment date was only 5 weeks ago and he did a full scan and didnt mention there not being enough room etc so i assume this should all be normal and fine, it is also causing pain from time to time when i move my jaw a certain way or  open it wider than normal. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks Vanessa
[|AI|]  Hithe piece of gum you are talking about is called operculum... food and debris accumulation below it causes pain... you should go to the dentist and should get the area irrigated by normal saline and antiseptic... and he will prescribe you medication (antibiotics and anti-inflammatory) also... and will grind any sharp area of tooth irritating your gum... after your symptoms subside, he will take X-ray to see the space available for tooth to erupt... If sufficient space is available, small procedure called operculectomy i.e. removal of the operculum, will be proceeded and tooth will erupt by itself...if sufficient space is not available, you should go for the extraction of tooth...take care...
