Hello Doctor,

My tooth is coming out. It happened a few years ago also. But, I did not remember in how much time the pain disappeared.
I have attached 4 pics of the tooth and also encircled the tooth.

Thanks,

Brief Answer:
Pericoronitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX ,

Welcome again .

Read your query and thanks for providing image , as far as I had observed it looks like pericoronitis as your wisdom tooth is partialy erupted covered by pericoronal flap, this pericoronal flap has deposition of food debris , bacteria causing pain and swelling .
I will suggest you to do warm saline rinses two - three times a day, you can take medicine like Novamox Lb and analgesic like Ibugesic plus by consulting with your local doctor .
If pain persist for more then 5 days then you should consult oral surgeon for Curretage of tooth and Investigations IOPA xray to determine for alignment of wisdom tooth .

Hope I have answered your query ,
If you have further query I will be happy to help.
