I woke up and my left lower gum area where my last tooth is, is swollen and hurts terribly. there also seems to be a cut on the side of the gm area. I have been doing salt water flush for 2 days now, using numbing cream, mouth wash and viniger, also i used peroxide. I am 20 year old female and I have never had my wisdom teeth pulled or grown in yet, however i cannot see any teeth erupting. I can barly  open my mouth up and my jaw is hurting a little as well
Hi...thanks for the query...according to your age and symptoms, it seems that your wisdom tooth is trying to come out... sometimes it's not visible, so you should go for radiographic examination for proper diagnosis...visit your dentist to get the area cleaned and irrigated... he will also prescribe you antibiotics and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. .if sufficient space seems to be available on the radiograph, for the tooth to erupt, then small procedure called operculectomy (removal of the gum area over the tooth) should be done... this will help with its eruption...if sufficient space doesn't seems to be available. Then go for its extraction...hope it will help you...take care...
