Hello sir..
This is pericoronitis/wisdom tooth related gum swelling..
Here's a safe home care routine you can follow until you're able to see a dentist.. Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water
Rinse gently for 30-60 sec.,,3 times a day
Brush your teeth as usual but be gentle around the swollen area
Use soft bristled toothbrush
Apply an ice pack or cold cloth to outside of ur cheek
This helps reduce swelling and numbs pain
Next Steps
eat soft and non spicy food
drink plenty of water
if you have paracetamol available you can take it for pain.
Health Tips
but it's only a temporary solution..the definitive treatment is either gum flap removal or extraction of wisdom teeth, depending on x-ray..

The gum has covered the last tooth . So there is food impaction leading to infection and pain. The pain may also be due to tilted last molar which is exerting pressure on second last teeth. So you need at least once to visit a dentist ..he vl take an xray and make you understand and will plan the treatment accordingly.Meanwhile you can rinse your mouth twice daily with warm water and pinched of salt mixed in it.Try looking for dentist within your camp or nearby . There are dentist in army also.

Hello
Thanks for your service sir!!
Looks like it is due to the third molar that is wisdom tooth
The permanent solution for this would be tooth extraction
Meanwhile, please do lukewarm water rinse with some salt

Hi,
From the picture, it looks like you have a gum inflammation over the wisdom tooth area. In a glass of warm water, mix 1/2 tea spoon salt and gargle gently for about 15 to 30 seconds, 3-5 times a day till you can visit a dentist.

Thank you for services. We are foverver indebted to you.
From the image you have shared it looks a wisdom tooth(3rd molar) problem. The gum around the wisdom tooth is swollen and probably coming in between your upper & lower teeth while chewing/ biting. That wisdom tooth needs extraction (removal).
Next Steps
Take a full mouth X-ray and consult an Oral Surgeon for removal of the tooth.
Health Tips
Rinse your mouth with warm water with a pinch of salt in it or betadine mouth wash for time being. This is only for temporary care. Removal of the tooth is the most likely final solution.
