What treatments are available for a soft tissue impacted wisdom tooth?

Doctor's Answer

One option would be to get the soft tissue cut out.

However, I would recommend removing the wisdom tooth alongside at the same time as cutting the soft tissue out.

This is because cutting just the soft tissue may cause a repeated problem. Soft tissues can regrow back over time. The soft tissue will try to revert to how it was before it was cut.
