See an oral surgeon: Is the irritated gums and blisters over the wisdom tooth site? It could be an issue that doesn't relate to the wisdom teeth extraction. Sometimes after wisdom teeth extractions deep gum pockets can develop behind the second molars leading to gum irritation. See an oral surgeon.

See an Oral Surgeon: There are a number of possibilities. Periodontal abscess would top the list. The tooth in front may have an abscessed pulp and need a root canal.. You need to see a dentist or oral surgeon for examination and diagnosis.

Possible fragment: If a wisdom tooth removal was particularly difficult (usually the lower ones), bone tissue had to be removed. It is entirely possible that now non-vital (unattached) bone fragments are working their way out. This is called a bony sequestrum. In older times, a chisel was often used to remove bone, and this procedure causes these sequestri more than the newer technique of using a bone drill.
