Detailed Answer:
Hello
After going through the medical query I can understand your concern and I would like to tell you that during the eruption of wisdom tooth swelling and slight pain in that portion of the gums is normal.
You just need to maintain good oral hygiene so as to avoid any infection.
It’s advisable to rinse your mouth with any chlorhexidine containing mouthwash after brushing teeth.
In case of fever or pain, it’s important to consult a dentist personally for proper examination.
Kind Regards
