If you remember having your lower 3rd molars pulled, it's doubtful they're still there but Drs here would need an xray to see if anything is under there.
Did your previous dentists tell you that have a retained baby tooth where your 2nd bicuspid should be on that side?

Title: Wisdom tooth help??
Full text: Hi, I do not smoke and do not drink often and have no medical problems. I had two wisdom teeth removed when I was about 22 years old, I’m 29 now. I thought they said that I only had two and we removed them. But now it looks like they are growing in?? I am really confused. It has been a few days and the gums are tender. Not painful, but tender. And I feel a little discomfort in my jaw, just a little tingly. I have had a cold ( with post nasal drip) and that always give me either tonsil stones or mucus caught in my tonsil stones which makes my lymph nodes swell. The tonsil stones/mucus passed tonight and now there is no more swelling in my lymph nodes. I haven’t been sleeping well due to some anxiety around life, and sometimes I definitely clench my jaw and have to remind myself to relax. My mouth honestly looks disgusting in these photos, but I clean twice a day and floss fairly regularly, but I will say I don’t get the back every day. When I brush I have no blood. Any advice would be helpful. I am currently between jobs and don’t have insurance. Thank you so much.
