What else can I help you with?
Large bump in my gum between the second last molar and the tooth before it. It is painful when I push on it. I have had my wisdom teeth pulled out. Does anyone know what it is?
Depending on the circumstances for the wisdom teeth (reason for removal, location of the teeth prior to extraction, age of the patient when removed) could mean different things for the concern you are having. Recent extraction could sometimes have "bone spurs" working their way out almost causing a sliver in your finger effect. If the wisdom tooth was impacted and deteriated the bone behind the second molar, the bone "defect" could be present causing an area to possibly abscess around the back side or distal of the second molar. Sometimes the most logical explanation is that a popcorn hull or something foreign gets in the gum tissue behind the second molar causing an inflammatory response in the tissue. Recommend keeping the area clean, if a problem persists and it get more painful, see your dentist for a x-ray and evaluation.

When to Consider Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Wisdom teeth removal is recommended when these third molars begin to cause problems or are likely to in the future. While not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed, dentists and oral surgeons often suggest it in the following situations: 1. Impaction – If your wisdom teeth are impacted (trapped beneath the gums or growing at an angle), they can lead to pain, swelling, or infection. In such cases, wisdom teeth removal is typically necessary to avoid complications. 2. Overcrowding – When there isn’t enough space in your jaw, wisdom teeth can push other teeth out of alignment. This is especially important if you've had orthodontic treatment. Removing wisdom teeth helps prevent shifting. 3. Tooth Decay or Gum Disease – Wisdom teeth are located at the very back of the mouth and can be difficult to clean. This makes them more prone to cavities and gum infections. If your dentist notices decay or inflammation, wisdom teeth removal might be advised. 4. Cysts or Jaw Damage – In rare cases, impacted wisdom teeth can cause cysts or even damage to surrounding bone and teeth. Early removal can prevent these serious issues. 5. Persistent Pain or Pressure – If you frequently experience jaw pain, pressure in the back of your mouth, or headaches due to your wisdom teeth, it may be time to consider removal.
