Hi,

Thanks for aksing the query,

I would like to tell you that the area of wisdom teeth is difficult to clean and often invites bacterial infection leading to redness, swelling and abscess formation.
I would suggest you to visit an Oral Surgeon and get the checkup done take an OPG radiograph and plan for the extraction of the tooth.
Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics.
Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.

Take care!
