Suggest remedy for a little flap of gum appearing on the wisdom tooth
Patient: hi my wisdom teeth recently just screw in and in there is a little flap of gum on top of it is but its starting to bother me and I'm just wondering what it is it there is no problem or whatever because I brush my teeth regularly and I just want to know if there's a problem Doctor: HelloThe flap is nothing but operculum.as the Tooth come out it will go away but sometimes due to partial eruption it stays over the tooth and causes pericoronitis.In that case you need to get it excised.I would advice you to just wait for some time for the complete eruption of the wisdom tooth.Hope this answer helps.RegardsDr. Shesh
