Question: I have a wisdom tooth poking out of the side of my top right gum. It doesn't hurt really, but I imagine if I do not do something about it, it will cause me problems down the road?

It depends, generally such teeth will continue to erupt into your mouth until you are biting your cheek. If the tooth is exposed in the mouth, it is in danger of decay. Such teeth are difficult to keep clean and are prone to future infection and problem. As a general rule, the younger you are, the simpler the procedure. Also, with upper teeth, eruption as you explain also makes the tooth simpler to remove. Let us know if we can help you. (801) 370-0050.
