The term used for your problem is pericoronitis...... it can be treated by reshaping of the gums in the area if the tooth has sufficient eruption potential..... or if the tooth is impacted, surgical extraction will be the only treatment option for a long term permanent solution..... an x-ray called OPG will be able to help us finalize the best option out of these two.....
