A. Hot salt mouth washes will help and carefully cleaning with your tooth brush to remove any plaque deposits.  The gum that is causing your problem may need to be removed or the wisdom tooth may need to be extracted.

My wisdom tooth is growing in and its half way up the other side is covered with gum and I have been getting pain for about 2weeks now on and off. Mostly after I eat on that side and at night time I wake up in middle of the night. I chew on that side primarily because I just got a root canal on the other side of my mouth an I wanted to know if it is normal to have wisdom tooth pain I am afraid I have to get it extracted. Is this normal?
