I had a wisdom tooth that came out, then went back in. It "erupting" (as my dentist said) a couple times a year, but then the skin would grow back over it. It didn't bother me, so I didn't do anything. Then one morning, I woke up with no neck. (Okay, so there was a neck, it was just hard to distinguish, being as it was as wide as my face.) I had to have immediate surgery to remove that wisdom tooth and the one on the other side (which had never erupted) because they were both infected and impacted.
Since they broke one getting it out, I had some shards still left too. They came out within a couple months...but were really shards. No more teeth, at least not yet!
You have my sympathy. Is it bothering you, or is it just a regular tooth? Maybe this one will be okay and just stay there...
