gum flap? abscess? urgent?
gum flap? or abscess? this is behind a wisdom tooth my dentist said didn't have to be removed because it was fully grown in- it's a small but painful flab that lays on the tooth but i can move it and stand it up. It's super soft and floppy. Starts a little red and has a white tip. The white tip has come off and come back within past few days. I'll be scheduling an appt soon but i go out of town tonight and don't have time. Is this emergency?
