Likely not: Probably a pericoronitis, or inflammation and infection of tissue over/around the wisdom tooth. Hot salt water rinses, massaging with index finger might help a little. See your Oral Surgeon ASAP. Good Luck.

See your dentist: When wisdom teeth cause problems, they need to come out. If you are experiencing pain, swollen gums, lymph nodes and it does not go away or if you find it difficult to open your mouth, you should see a dentist for evaluation, x-ray and wisdom teeth removal.
