Swollen gum

2018-06-01 05:36:47
I have a swollen gum near the last tooth in the left side of my mouth. I've checked & I don't think so that it's a wisdom tooth. The pain started two days back. Today after brushing in the morning , I did a mouthwash too which reduced the pain. Also warm water rinsing is comforting me. Is swollen gum necessarily a wisdom tooth symptom??
