Wisdom Teeth Posted: 11-05-06 01:47am
Ok, im 19 and my wisdom teeth have been
coming in for some time now.
Something that I have been noticeing is
that as they start breaking through my
gums there is like an open space all
around them, and stuff is getting down the
crevice between my tooth and my gums. It
is really disgusting and it really hurts
sometimes. If I try pushing on my tooth
all this stuff comes out and it smells
awful, it really reminds me of the tonsil
stones I used to get. It smells almost
exactly the same. I brush my teeth 2 to 3
times a day and rinse with mouth wash too.
But I cant understand why this stuff is
building up between my gums and my wisdom
teeth. Its really gross and really
uncomfortable at times, if you can imagine
getting something lodged between your
teeth and gums. But my question is, is
this normal? And does messing with it and
pushing the stuff out a bad thing? Im
really confused. Any advise would be
greatly appreciated.
