Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

As per your complain swollen gums around last tooth that is a wisdom tooth is an indication of Pericoronitis..

Pericoronitis occurs due to infection occuring between the gum flap and the wisdom tooth due to food and debris accumulation..

You need to first of all consult an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated and along with a thorough clinical evaluation he can also advise you an x ray of the tooth to check whether tooth is impacted or erupting properly..
In case if the tooth is impacted then extraction of tooth can be done for permanent relief..
In case if tooth is not impacted then he can advise you to take antibiotics,painkillers, warm saline gargles and gargle with antiseptic mouthwash..
In case if still recurs then surgical removal of gum flap will be advisable..


Hope this information helps.

Thanks and regards.
