Hey all. I have a serious inflammation since last Thursday. Till now my right cheek is swollen. I have a feeling that it's my partially out wisdom tooth is causing the problem now. And also the gum half covering it. I went to the dental and she said she couldn't do anything except giving me antibiotics and painkillers. She did however do x-ray though, and I could see that they are very straight. Is it necessary to pull them out? Cause that's what she suggested. I have needle phobias so I don't know what to do about this.

Well the swollen has gone. It took almost a week. Right now I just becareful when biting and cleaning. I should have gone to remove it but I'm still scared so yeah. Just hoping for the best for now. xD

Its a sign of a start of infection. probably at a mild stage which may resolve on its own.. Do salt gargle rinse.

Its better to get it removed as soon as possible to prevent further infection that may increase complications in future.
