I have been suffering from pain radiating to my upper and lower jaw for several days. All my teeth on this side are healed. At the very end of my jaw, a growth appeared at the top. The dentist scared me that it was probably pain caused by the eruption of the figure eight, which, unable to get out, puts pressure on the appendix and would need to be chiseled. Please explain and confirm the possible necessity of chiselling. What should I do in the first place to relieve me? Iza, Gdańsk
First of all, you should see a dentist. If you have doubts about the diagnosis made by the dentist, I suggest you consult another doctor. It is difficult for me to confirm the opinion of your dentist without seeing your teeth. Chiselling is likely. If a tooth is cut in a place where there is actually no place, it should be removed. Now, before you visit the dentist, only over-the-counter painkillers can help. Regards.
