Is it possible to grow wisdom teeth twice?


Question:
I got all of my wisdom teeth out in November-I had 5...but now all of a sudden I'm getting sick like I'm cutting a tooth, and the gum is sore where there was a tooth.

Answers:
Its not impossible but its unlikely. Teeth sit inside bone and sometimes when teeth are removed that bone doesnt resolve so your mouth removes it for you sort of like pushing out new teeth. more than likely its residual alveolar bone that is working its way out. You can go to your dentist and have them take an xray to be sure. The alveolar bone can be smoothen out.
It's unlikely, but I have heard of such cases. Check with your dentist! Maybe a little bit of the tooth was accidentally left in the gum, & is working its way back out, now...
sounds like they left a root tip in. Get a x-ray then they can see. I've never heard of growing another set of teeth when your an adult.
If they hadn't broken through the gums when he extracted them, the oral surgeon might have missed part of one of your wisdom teeth.
no and call the surgeon.
