Why The Bump, At The Place Of Wisdom Tooth, Painful While Eating?

Almost 2 years ago I got all 4 wisdom teeth removed. Since I got them removed, my bottom teeth that were removed I have a bump on both gums where the teeth use to be. I just thought it would go away and kind of forgot about it. Now starting about a month ago it has been bothering me, both sides have a small bump that I can see. It hurts a lot when I eat as well. What could it be? One of them has 2 small dots on it that could possibly maybe be a scab? That one hurts the most.

Dentist,  's  Response
Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

I would like to tell you that wisdom tooth is the last tooth to errupt in the oral cavity and is difficult to clean and causes inflammation of the surrounding tissue leading to formation of bump.

I would suggest you to consult to a Dentist get a checkup done, plan for the removal of the tooth.
Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics.
At home take lukewarm saline rinses and antiseptic mouthwash gargles.

Take care!
