Wisdom tooth question...(kinda gross)
I had my top two wisdom teeth pulled already, bottom two still to go.
I've been getting headaches -- the kind I had when my other 2 needed to be pulled, and was just assuming it was becaue the bottom 2 needed to be done...
But the more I think about it the pain seems like it is coming from the top --- and I was feeling around where my wisdom tooth was pulled last week, then again this morning, and it feels like there is something up there that is coming down more. There was a little bump last week and now a really big bump.
On the other side there is nothing.
I am calling the dentist to make an appt today for x-rays and for them to check it, but is it possible that when they pulled my tooth part was left in? It sounds so gross and I've never heard of that before but that is what it feels like!
Has this ever happened to anyone??
It hurts pretty bad

Re: Wisdom tooth question...(kinda gross)
well, if you tooth absolutly had to be pulled, you would feel a great deal of pain near those two wisdom teeth.
If there is a good case they are started to grow sideways or become impacted, they will pull em...
Is the bump on your gums? That could mean an effection of the gum. Where the bump is should tell something might be up with that tooth. Have you had a root canal on that tooth where bump is?
How does it feel with hot and cold items?
Get it checked out and tell them about bump. I started to get an effection, had a bump...had no idea what it was then it went away. Then saw dentist, told me i needed work done...(same tooth as bump) and he said it because of effection got deep and trying to expand down the wall. I didn't need surgery as medicine and a deep cleaning can possible fix it....

Re: Wisdom tooth question...(kinda gross)
How long ago did you have it pulled? It's possible there's a tooth fragment in there. It happened to me with the last one that was pulled but it was "pushed out" of the wound. The dentist warned me that might happen.
You're doing the right thing, getting the xrays done. Good luck!

When I had my wisdom teeth out, one of them had some "buts" left under the gum that did not comeout with the extraction. It was pretty painful & a few days later a piece of tooth emerged. It actually "popped" out while I was brushing my teeth, and as soon as it came out I felt better. I would call your dentist though & make sure that there is no associated infection.
Feel better

Re: Wisdom tooth question...(kinda gross)
My dentist told me about phantom pain once. That you can feel the pain on the top but it's actually the bottom where there is the problem.

Sounds like it's infected...maybe he missed a piece of tooth or something like that.

I was just going to say this. Its also called something else. But it happens a lot. When my bottom wisdom teeth were hurting, it hurt on top.
Thats most likely what is it.

I actually didn't end up calling the dentist today -- it was so crazy with our trip to Radio City and I forgot my cell at home by accident so I couldn't even call on my way home from work.
I have to call tomorrow -- but I doubt it's an infection --- since I had the tooth pulled like a year and a half ago.
I don't know, I just don't know what it can be but it HURTS! Hopefully I can get an appt soon!
