SHOULD GUMS BE LANCED TO HELP TEETH COME OUT ? |
| Usually it is not advisable, Gums that have been lanced, often heal before the tooth comes through, and then it becomes difficult for the tooth to come up because scar tissue is usually tougher than normal tissue. In some cases the dentist may advise that the tissue overlaying an unerupted tooth be removed completely. |
