What Causes Pain After Removal Of Wisdom Tooth?

I got my wisdom teeth cut out about 6 months ago and now it feels like there is another tooth coming in, or maybe they forgot to get a piece of the tooth or something? I m not really sure but it is very painful and it feels like it is growing on top of my tooth that is farthest back.

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Eruption of a new teeth after removal of wisdom tooth is not possible. It could be the a piece of tooth left behind in the socket.
Pain could also be due to the presence of infection in the socket.

I would advice you to visit your oral surgeon and have a radiographic review. If tooth piece left behind ,have it extracted.
For pain ibuprofen can be taken (if not allergic to any medicine).Antibiotics like amoxicillin will be required on prescription.

Keep the area clean .Salt water gargling is also beneficial.

Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
