Suggest Treatment For Bumps Near Wisdom Tooth And Headaches

Posted on Tue, 27 Jan 2015

Question: I have 5 small pale/pinkish bumps near my bottom wisdom tooth area. It's only on my right side where I had the tooth removed. I have a "flap" there where food occasionally gets caught. I cannot feel the bumps they don't cause any pain but I can see them. I've had then for a couple weeks now. Ive had more headaches the past couple days but I assumed it was from worrying. What could this be?

I had the tooth extraction about a year and a half ago. I cannot remember exactly but it has been quite a while.

Brief Answer:
pinkish bumps are harmless..flap needs closer

Detailed Answer:
Hi..thanks for your follow up question...the pinkish bumps are benign, harmless.. Regarding the flap partially covering the hole, it needs dentist intervention..if you leave it like that, food debris keeps on collecting and leads to many problems like infection....Please do follow up with your dentist about the same.

hope I answered your question ..if you have any further questions am happy to help you..take care...if you are happy with my answer you can close the discussion and rate my answer..
