The swelling is due to food lodgement under the gums of the wisdom tooth. That tooth will need to be extracted for permanent relief.

Hi,
If you have been experiencing pain and swelling off and on, it is better to get it removed. The position of the wisdom tooth is out of alignment. It may cause problems in the future.
