Suggest Remedy For Small Hole In Between Teeth Due To Gum Growing Out Of Alignment After Wisdom Teeth Removal

A few years ago I had a operation to take all four of my wisdom teeth out, they all heeled perfectly however the second back tooth on the bottom right of my gum grew out of alignment and pushed more against my gum and cheek. Not only that I had a lot of the gum over the tooth and pushing against it. Now I have a small cut or hole I between my tooth and where my cheek is, it is difficult for my to brush.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
As you are mentioning that your tooth is pushing your gums and teeth it looks that this tooth is causing continuous trauma to the cheek because of which now a cut means a traumatic ulcer has been formed in that area which is painful.
So now first you should start with symptomatic relief like topical application of an anesthetic gel like mucopain on the ulcer.
After that you should visit your dentist to get the rounding of the cusps of the tooth which is causing trouble or if needed removal of the tooth.
Thank you
Hope it will help you.
