Can anyone help - wisdom tooth?

I have a tempremental impacted wisdom tooth, lower left, it has been giving me problems for a couple of years, anyway, last year during pregnancy it flared up into infection 4 times, this year twice, once just after birth and a minor throbbing recently which stopped after I rinsed with salt water.





Anyway, the entrance to my throat at that side has been redder than the other side but with no pain, I recently had a cold and have got a cough which I can't shake off. I noticed my throat feeling odd so I took a look and noticed a dark vein showing up quite obviously along the back of my mouth towards the roof (from where it is red) and the vein comes from beneath the wisdom tooth in the gum. The tooth itself does not hurt, nor does the gum near it. Is it just a vien showing up or has the infection got into my system???





Very scared.





i saw my dentist and she told me the tooth needs surgery, however I had a reaction to general anaesthetic as a kid during dental surgery.

i hate to say it, but you need to get the surgery asap before things get worse. you will be in very good hands with your dentist, so i would try and get over the anaesthetic fear if you don't want to go through anymore pain with this tooth (this can lead to so many more problems that you can prevent by getting the surgery done now). that's my suggestion anyway.
Reply:You so need to get that taken out, if you have an infection and it has gotten into the blood stream you need to see a dentist righ taway. Pay the money and have the tooth removed, it sounds like it would be worth it. Usually dark red veins are a bad sign.
Reply:Just stop putting it off and go get the work done, your only being a chicken and the rest is just procrastination. You will feel alot better when it's all over. It really doesn't hurt. Good luck.
Reply:I am not a doctor, so I can't tell you what's going on with your situation. I can say that many issues with my mouth/throat cleared up after getting my wisdom teeth (all 5!) removed.





Just let the oral surgeon know about your reaction to the previous medicine. Don't put the surgery off anymore, it was such a big relief when I got mine removed.
