hi! i recently started having sorness near my left lower wisdom tooth, then the gums around the tooth in front of the wisdom near my cheek started to swell, when I looked at it, it looked like there may have been water or pus in it and now the gum seems to be lifting away from my tooth. Im not sure what i can do to allievate the pain right now until i can see my dentist.
Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. Wisdom tooth extraction is very important in this case as it may cause abscess if left untreated.Therefore, I would say please visit your dentist soon and get it examined thoroughly. An x-ray can be very helpful in his case.Also, please start a course of antibiotic and analgesic and do warm saline rinses every day until you see your dentist. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
