What Is Causing A Bump At The Site Of Last Tooth?
I'm a 18 year old female, and I have a bump right at the end of my lower jaw, behind my last tooth. It's enough space to accomodate a tooth, but not sure whether that's really what is causing the bump. It's not too hard either. The tooth right above it causes a lot of irritation when it comes into contact. What could it be?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Actually 18 year is the age of eruption of last molar, it can be possible that your wisdom tooth is coming in the mouth, but it will take little time.
Just observe it for few days, at least a week, if then slso , it is not coming or creating some problem, then you should visit your dentist and get an x - ray done which will show the condition.
Hope it will help you.
