My wisdom teeth pain
I got swilling around the wisdom teeth and got covered with skin around it and the pain is very hard and pain is spreading towards tounge what is the problem I got and their any remedy for it

The skin that is covering the tooth is called operculum. It gets inflamed and hurts because of food trapped under it and injury from the opposing tooth.
Usually such cases can be treated by conservative removal of the operculum or if the tooth is in a very unfavorable position then extraction of the involved tooth.

Hi, this is pericoronal flap inflammation caused due to food and debris accumulation around the unerupted/partially erupted wisdom tooth region. Please see and oral surgeon soon as antibiotics and painkillers will only give temperory pain relief!! Luke Warm salt water rinses will be of help!!
