Hi,

Since yesterday I have been in sever pain with my back teeth on the left hand side, i could hardly open my jaw and eating is especially painful.
I looked in a mirror today and there is like a hard bony lump about 1cm wide in the roof of my mouth, just inside and behind my back tooth, where my wisdom tooth is coming through, I have noticed this before but suddenly it is causing me a lot of pain, it looks like a big lump of bone. Does anyone have any idea what this is or what would be done to fix it? I am already petrified of dentists and have a lot of other health worries on my mind at the moment so any more stress is the last thing that i need! But i am willing to go and see the dentist if he can sort it out for me because it looks really horrible and is really painful!!

Could it possibly be that your wisdom tooth is coming in wrong??? I heard someone else on here say that one of their wisdom teeth came through the roof part of their mouth.

I hope you feel better soon.
