Hello Mani......... your medical history is not given but i assume you to be in your late 20's or early mid 30's. Your clinical condition seems to be like pericoronitis meaning inflammation(swelling) around the gum region of your wisdom tooth. Depending on the amount of eruption or the angle of the tooth, after a clinical examination, your doctor will be in a position to advice you the required treatment. Personally, i feel wisdom teeth should be extracted as early as possible as they create more problems later on such as periodontal pockets & decay of adjoining tooth. Kindly get it evaluated as early as possible. Good Luck !!

Hi mani. These kind of symptoms are associated with wisdom tooth/third molar eruption which happens during 17-28years of age. Gum swelling is pericoronitis which needs to be examined and treated locally. You should visit your nearest dentist for a definitive treatment after the clinical examination. Take care.

Hi Mani!
The symptoms that you gave relate to the erupting 3rd molar, also known as WISDOM TOOTH. So I assume that you must be in the age group of 18-25. In that case a mild analgesic combined with an anti-inflammatory drug will be useful along with warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day for about 3-4 days. Visit your local dentist for an assesment whether the tooth needs to be extracted or not. Take care.

If there is no opposing tooth in your lower jaw, then after necessary IOPA Xrays or an OPG, take necessary medication prescribed by your dentsit and go for extraction(Tooth Removal). If the tooth is not erupting in proper alignment also , get it removed.

•  causes of wisdom tooth problem

Most probably a case of erupting / impacted wisdom tooth causing inflammation with or without associated infection .
For immediate relief ,take a short course of anti inflammatory medication with antibiotics as deemed suitable by your dentist and then post X-ray examination you an take a call whether extraction is necessary or you can wait and keep it in observation till it erupts fully .
Hope this is useful to you.
