Hi !
Taking each question at a time.
1. Gum flap surgery is for unhealthy swollen or recessive gums, or in cases of bleeding from gums. In such cases it is necessary.
2. Laser gum surgery can be done around any tooth, but the one you are talking about I presume is to remove the gum covering the wisdom tooth.
3. Infection occurs due to food lodgement around the tooth, or due to a pocket formed by an unerupted or partially erupted tooth, or by caries(decay) in the wisdom tooth itself.
4. Teeth eruption is not dependent on the gums as much as it is dependent on the space and bone available.
Next Steps
Please see an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon who can assess whats the issue with the wisdom tooth, along with an X-ray so a proper diagnosis can be made.
Health Tips
Please do not go for Laser Gum Removal above the wisdom tooth (Operculectomy) as it is not a permanent solution and also chances of recurrence (Gum growing back) are very high.
Wish you a pain-free treatment,
Best Regards.
