Can Wisdom Tooth Be Removed If Causing Pain And Swelling In Gums And Face?

I am 24, 162cm, 55kg, having eruption of wisdom tooth now but not all 4, only at the right lower part. The pain has been for days and now I have swollen gum and face. Do I need to have this tooth being taken out since it's causing pain? Is it alright to be absent from work due to this and consult the dentist once it's available?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic. As you are mentioning that your wisdom tooth erupting, then it is normal to have some pain while eruption, but if the pain is for many days then it means that there is less space in the jaw for the tooth that is why it is causing difficulty, better that you should visit your dentist early and get the tooth removed.
Hope it will help you.
