Hi. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I read your query. This type of wisdom tooth is called as impacted tooth. Over the period of time gap develops around its gums and there is food lodgement and infection.
This is called pericoronitis.
In mild case, it can be cured by antibiotics and warm saline gargles. But if it is reoccuring, removal of tooth is permanent treatment. It is removed by small surgey under local anesthesia and stitches are given for 7 days. Medicine helps control pain postoperatively.
If you have any BP or Blood sugar, you need to have it controlled and consult your physician (if seeing any for any regular treatment) before extraction.
Besides this Maintain good oral hygiene. Use mouthwash. Do warm saline gargles.
Hope the answer helps you. Thank you!
