Hi...the swelling is due to insufficient space for the wisdom tooth to erupt where the food often gets accumulated and causes infection.The condition is called as PERICORONITIS.
Next Steps
Visit dentist immediately to avoid serious dental issues.
Health Tips
Add salt in luke warm water and gargle in the affected side for 4-5 times a day to get temporary relief. Advised to do regular dental check up and teeth cleaning every 6 months.

Hello, The problem you telling generally happen because of wisdom tooth impaction. The gum over the tooth has covered the tooth or there might be a cavity. Get an X-ray done of that area to clear out the problem and treatment will bed one accordingly.

You have problems with the wisdom tooth( eruption) . Please go for OPG x ray to check whether there is space for eruption. If there is any issues, please go for either operculectomy or impaction surgery. Gargle vigorously with a mouthwash or salt water to maintain hygiene and free from infection. Hope this might help you
