Question
On my right bottom corner of my mouth, my wisdom tooth is growing in, and there is a huge bump... is that suppose to be there, or is that mean that it is infected?
If you have no pain then it should be fine. The bump is just gum tissue covering over the actual tooth. If it swells up or gets painful then it might be an issue.It might be a good idea to have a panoramic xray taken .This will let you know if the wisdom teeth are growing in straight or at a funky angle and you could get a better idea as to the necessity of keeping them or having them removed.
Good Luck,
Dr.Rafael Mosery
