Dentist,  's  Response
Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as you have pain in back of gum this can be due to eruption of wisdom tooth may be there is pain due to impacted wisdom tooth or if it is partially erupted it can be due to Pericoronitis.
I will suggest you that you should consult dentist and go for investigations IOPA xray of tooth if it is impacted then go for extraction , if it is partially erupted pericoronitis then go for Curretage.
In meantime do warm saline gargle two - three times a day, for reduced mouth opening you can take muscle relaxtant by consulting with your doctor.

Hope it will help you.
Wishing you good health.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka tiwari
