See a dentist ASAP: You need to see a dentist or an oral surgeon right away to take out the rest of the wisdom tooth out before it gets infected and cause more problems.

Get help now: Important that you see Oral Surgeon ASAP. Root probably infected, and infection WILL spread. Once root removed make appointment with General Dentist for examination and cleaning. Important that you see Dentist regularly to make sure you don't have an acute problem again in the future.
