Suggest Remedies For A Sore Spot Between The Wisdom Tooth

i have a spot between the wisdom tooth that had a sore spot that was large and inflammed and had it for a few months or year. and recently it started to smell decayed when flossing near it. and then i used a tooth pick and felt popping and blood came. so i drained it. then it stopped hurting so bad. but now its drained and still sore.

Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that there is decay on the wall of the wisdom tooth that is in contact with the adjacent tooth and due to decay there is soreness and foul smell..

Bleeding occurred as the gum in the area might also have got inflamed due to infection or there can be bleeding from the inside of the tooth due to exposure of blood vessels and nerves due to decay..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray can help in ruling out the exact cause and treat accordingly..

In case of tooth infection either root canal treatment or extraction depending upon the condition of tooth can be advised..

As of now take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen and do antiseptic mouthwash gargles..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
