Hi..it is a common problem. Because gum getting trapped between your upper and lower wisdom tooth during chewing the gum often gets swollen up. Best and permanent solution is extraction of wisdom tooth. However in the meantime to make area comfortable,you can apply pansoral gel four to five times on gum.

When tooth erupts it pierces gum to come out. Sometimes due to food lodgement gum swells leading to irritation, discomfort or pain. These are common symptoms. You can use mouth wash.
