My wisdom teeth are half in and half out of my gums, causing pain and swelling off and on. The issue flares up for a week or so, then goes away for a few months before coming back. I really don't want surgery is there any way to manage the pain and swelling permanently?

The recurring pain and swelling around your partially erupted wisdom teeth, known as pericoronitis, can be managed through a combination of home care and professional dental treatments. While surgery might be a long-term solution, there are ways to control the symptoms and prevent or minimize future flares.

I'm a bit concerned because lately, people sleeping near me have been telling me that I grind my teeth while I'm asleep. It's strange because Im not aware of it at all and it doesnt happen when Im awake. What could be causing this?

Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you might be pregnant. The vibrations in your stomach could be early fetal movement, although it's unlikely to feel movement this early. To confirm, take a home pregnancy test or consult your gynecologist for a blood test and further guidance. In the meantime, ensure you're getting plenty of rest and staying hydrated.

I've been getting this small white pearl-like lump on the roof of my mouth. It seems to come and go, sometimes pretty quickly, and other times it keeps popping up. I'm wondering if this is something to worry about or if it's a common thing. Any idea what it might be?

That needs evaluation,visit ENT docotro for the same and appropriate management
