What Causes Two Holes In Back Of Mouth With Tooth Like Color?

I have two small holes in the back of my mouth where my wisdom tooth might be coming in it doesn't hurt and I kinda see a tooth like color in it also can feel it is hard. Could this be my wisdom tooth even though I'm almost 26. Also I've had an olcer on and off for the past year in the same spot. Please help.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query . The hard structure you mention in query is nothing but erupting wisdom tooth (as you also mention in query ) .

But this wisdom tooth is impacted means partially erupted . This impacted tooth make space for lodgement of food derbies and bacteria , which make gum to swell on that site .

That inflamed gum usually get bitten during eating which form ulcer . this condition is called 'PERICORONITIS' .

iI would suggest you to :-

- Do betadine rinses several times a day otherwise the pericoronal flap get badly infected .

- Take Advil ( if not allergic) or paracetamole for pain and swelling .

- Do hydrogenperoxide rinses mix with equal amount of water once .

Consult dentist for proper examination . Doctor may take X-ray to see the root position and and relation to bone .

Doctor may prescribe antibiotics (amoxicillin) , Surgically cut the pericoronal flap if it become problematic.

Doctor may also recommend you to get the wisdom tooth extracted . If doctor think the it will be problematic in future due to lack of space in arch.

hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
