Hello sir.. it is due to the caries (DECAY)of the 3rd molar that is very deep (reaches pulp) which causes radiating pain....As it is the 3 rd molar you need to go for surgical removal of teeth.....

Hi... Good morning. Your tooth has decay which is causing abscess and troubles you are facing. We can do single visit root canal treatment and save the tooth. We need to check if your upper jaw also has opposing tooth for chewing. If last third molar in upper jaw is good then we advise you to save this lower jaw tooth in question. After consultation with you we can decide whether to save your tooth or remove it. Both options are available.

There seems to be a deep cavity in your lower wisdom tooth which led to food impaction and gum inflammation in that area. You must visit a dentist soon and get it extracted as wisdom tooth are functionless in nature. Meanwhile you can take tablet ketorol.dt s.o.s for pain.
