Hey!
So my wisdom tooth is kind of half through with some of the gum still over it, although the gum directly around my tooth is kind of loose for a want of a better word. I went to the dentist yesterday to have just a general checkup, I've thought my wisdom tooth may be infected for a few weeks now as I had a horrible taste in my mouth sometimes and it didn't feel quite right, so I mentioned it to my dentist yesterday and he took a look and said that he thinks I may have a slight infection and so long as it isn't causing me pain we'll leave it for now and see if it just grows out and he recommended that I should brush well and maybe after lunch too and use mouthwash to prevent any food and stuff getting in there.
But I woke up this morning and I could feel some pressure so I squeezed my gum and some hard kind out grey/brown pus came out and I also get liquidy pus come out from the gum all round my wisdom tooth. I'm sure my dentist knows what he is talking about but should I go back and ask for some antibiotics or should I just ride it out? I just don't want to create any problems or any lasting damage for myself!
Thanks guys, Tash
