Possible infection: Sounds like a gum infection or a tooth abscess. See your general dentist or an oral surgeon for evaluation.

Possible infection: This sounds like you have an infection around the wisdom tooth. This is very common and usually the dentist will recommend antibiotics and then possibly extract the wisdom tooth if it appears that this will keep reoccurring.
