What to do for intense gum pain near my wisdom tooth with swelling and headaches? - #53631
I have intense pain on gum at back of mouth near wisdom tooth. Looks like gum is starting to grow over it, and tooth was nearly fully visiblebefore. Gum is sore on outside and at the back behind the tooth. Splitting headache, slight jaw pain. Feels better with warm compress, but for some reason feels like they're excess gum or skin around it after doing compress before it seems to swell up again.
