Tooth growing in wisdom tooth socket?!

Question: Tooth growing in wisdom tooth socket.?

I had my wisdom teeth out 5 years ago with no problems after the surgery. Today I noticed that there is a tooth growing in the socket where the tooth was removed. It's really swollen and I can see the white part where the tooth is surfacing. How can this be.?!Health Question & Answer

Answers:

Could be another wisdom tooth or possibly they left part of the root in there from before and it's making its way out. It should've showed up on xrays over the last 5 years since the extraction. Don't worry, just call your dentist. In the meanwhile, rinse with warm salt rinses.
