IF you really want to know what is under your gums, easiest way is to get an xray.
However if it is not painful and bothersome leave it aloneeven if it is a wisdom tooth.
Remember that wisdom tooth may erupt perfectly normally even without you yourself knowing it.
So , if it ain't troubling you, do not trouble it or trouble with it.!

What is the difference between a molar tooth and a wisdom tooth?
A wisdom tooth is one of the three molars. A molar is defined as a tooth with four cusps or points, and the wisdom tooth is simply the last molar to erupt and farthest back in the jaw.
What is the other name for a wisdom tooth?
Normally a wisdom tooth is a third molar.
Is tooth number 16 a molar?
Yes indeed. It is the third molar (wisdom tooth)
What is the third molar tooth called?
The third adult molar is also called wisdom tooth.
Is wisdom teeth is the second molar teeth?
well it is the wisdom tooth but some people call it the 2nd molar tooth. And hope that answers your question.
If a dentist recommends that you remove your second molar tooth instead of your wisdom tooth is that a bad choice if the second molar is in very bad condition?
I'd follow the advice of the dentist, since the wisdom tooth can move forward after the second molar is removed.
What is the wisdom tooth used for?
A wisdom tooth is a large molar and is used for the same purpose: crushing and grinding foods like seeds, bread, vegetables, etc.
Your molar tooth has an abscess and it should be extracted because on that side your wisdom tooth is pushing beside the abscessed tooth Is an implant or bridge better?
You can only put a bridge on if there is a tooth on each side to support it. Therefore, a bridge cannot replace a wisdom tooth, because it's the last one on the dental arch. If you keep your wisdom tooth and you need to extract the molar right before, then you can replace that molar with a bridge. In any other case, an implant would be a better treatment.

What is the name of the teeth that cannot come out?
Submerged dentition. If a tooth is stuck and wants to come out but cannot, we call it an impacted tooth. Usually it is a third molar tooth that causes this condition. also known as impacted wisdom tooth.
Why do you have a sore lump near your wisdom tooth?
The hard painful lump near your growing wisdom tooth is probably part of the tooth. However, it could be an infection under the gums and should be checked by a dentist.
Is it OK to plug out the infected first molar to make space for growing wisdom tooth?
In cases where it is decayed beyond scope of saving then in teenagers who have 3rd molar still erupting this kind of method is employed.
When the tooth next to the molar is lose does it hurt?
You should not lose the one in the back of it. The one in front of it is just like losing a tooth. The moler hurts when getting it out. You can't lose wisdom teeth!
