<s>[INST] I noticed a red like object that seemed to be hanging on by a little thread of gum in the back of my gums towards my wisdom teeth today and it seems to be apart of my gums I picked at it and it started to bleed a little and I noticed that it looked like it was rooted into my gums. Is this something to be worried about? [/INST] Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Your query suggest that it is the periodontal flap (gum around the erupting wisdom tooth)which is inflamed and is red usually referred to as peritonitis. I would advise you to keep the area clean to avoid further infection and pain. Do warm saline or chlorhexidine mouth wash gargling. Visit a dentist and get it checked and get the flap removed if needed. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards. </s>
