From your description, this sounds like a partially erupted wisdom tooth with infection/inflammation this condition is called pericoronitis
This commonly causes severe pain, gum bleeding, and pain relief only for a few hours with tablets.
Medicines can control symptoms temporarily, but definitive treatment is removal of the wisdom tooth.
Yes, the tooth can be extracted even if it is partially inside the gums.
This is a minor surgical procedure, done under local anesthesia, and you should not feel pain during the procedure,only pressure is felt
It is not a major surgery in most cases
Next Steps
A BDS dentist trained in extractions can do simple cases, but if the tooth is deeply impacted or close to nerves, a specialist (Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon) is preferred for safety and faster healing.
Health Tips
It’s understandable to worry about painkillers—prolonged use is not ideal, which is why early extraction is advised once infection is controlled.
Please don’t worry this is a very common, routine procedure, and most patients feel significant relief within 2–3 days after extraction.
