Sore gum, swollen near wisdom tooth my lower jaw is also sore as well. It started happening yesterday and I woke up this morning and called the dentist ( on monday) i told them my symptoms and that I am in pain but they are only free on thursday as they are fully booked so I said yes. Is there anything I can do to stop the pain and is my mouth going to be ok by thursday i think the gum might be infected near my wisdom tooth ( from what I have researched online).
