Need to get checked out?
I have a question! Since we are having a lockdown, I can’t go to the dentist. I’m not sure if this is a problem. I’m going to try explain this the best to my ability. I’m 15, and I think a wisdom tooth is coming in. In my bottom jaw, the little section behind my left molar is swollen I think. It’s different than my right one for sure. I looked it up, and it said that it might me a wisdom tooth coming in. It’s not really painful. I can still chew on the side. It just hurts to the touch with my tongue. Should I get it looked at once the lockdown is over? Thanks! I’m not sure if this helps, but i’ve had braces off for almost two years. I had braces on for two years also.
