Softness where my wisdom tooth is coming in..?

where my top upper wisdom tooth is (or should be)it is soft, swollen and squishy, painful too!





I know I should get it out, but i'm nervous about the procedure (but not nervous with anything else containing to dental procedures) but i'm just unsure of what is going on..





Is this normal when a wisdom tooth is coming in? or is it infected? It just started today it's not too painful but when i touch it is sore..

Sounds like you have an absest tooth. They will have to get it out very soon. That liquid as you are describing is pure poison. If it's not removed you are risking a lot more problems then just being scared of the procedure! You can face a bone infection. (Which is the absolute hardest infection to cure!) It will eventally spread into your jaw if not kill you first! Do not play around with this get it taken care of before it is too late! Try a dentist that will put you under for this one and get them all out at once. It will save you in the long run. We all have to face this in life! It is up to you to be responsible for yourself for your health sake! Call your dentist explain, he would probably be happy to perscribe the appropriate antibiotic to get you so you can be worked on! Novacaine usually doesn't work as well if not at all when a heavy infection is present. Hope this helps! Stop wasting precious time here, and get it done! Don't say you weren't warned!
Reply:The procedure is different for everyone. I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed a month ago, and I was eating solid food that same night. My face barely swelled up, and the pain was minimal. As for the softness and pain, I think that's pretty normal.
Reply:It sounds like the tooth is trying to break through the gums on it's own. That can be very tender. If the dentist says you need to have it removed then by all means do it. Don't be too worried about the procedure. I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed at the same time and was only semi-sedated to have it done.
Reply:You don't necessarily need to have it extracted. The tissue covering the wisdom tooth always get sore, swollen %26amp; sometimes bleeds when the tooth is breaking through the skin. Give it a few days, be sure to brush 3 times a day %26amp; don't use mouthwash with alcohol because it can irritate the tissue.





If you feel throbbing pain or persistent pain, that probably means that the wisdom tooth that is coming out is pressing against your existing molar, (i.e. it's impacted) and might need to be removed. If the entire tooth breaks through the skin with and has adequate room, you don't need to have it extracted.
