It doeant really hurt just bothersome and my wisdom tooth is partailly out and it leaves a gap where food can get in between my 2nd molar and the wisdom tooth but usually i clean this spot and remove any food but now my 2nd molar gums are swollen
Hello, Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor Read your query as you have swelling in gums due to infected 2nd molar and partially erupted wisdom tooth this condition is said as peritonitis. For this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for examination of oral cavity and Iowa x-ray of wisdom tooth. If it is impacted then go for extraction and treatment of 2nd molar. Inmeantime do warm saline rinses 2 - 3 times a day, do Betadine rinses that will give you relief in pain. Consult oral surgeon and go for curettage of gum around wisdom tooth. Hope this will help you.
