Bottom left wisdom tooth growing in gum hanging, what to do?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Extract wisdom teeth: Extraction of wisdom tooth involved will solve the problem. Pericoronitis, a chronic condition of the swollen gum surrounding the erupting wisdom tooth will sometimes give rise to gingival overgrowth. Extraction of the wisdom tooth can be very simple and will solve the problem.

See Oral Surgeon: Sometimes simple excision of the overhanging tissue is all that's needed. At other times, the offending tooth has to be removed. See an oral surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
