Call your dentist: Erupting wisdom teeth can cause pain and can be associated with gum soreness. Based on your description of your symptoms, I would suggest that you call your dentist for an appointment as soon as possible. The swelling could be an indication of an infection.

No: There's no reason for you to be in pain. Yes, you're teething, and it hurts. But help is just a phone call away. Call your Dentist for treatment or referral to an Oral Surgeon.

It is not normal: Sometimes wisdom teeth are valuable asset when healthy and properly aligned, but more often, they are misaligned and require removal. The removal of wisdom teeth is one of the most common procedures at ages 16-26. See your dentist for evaluation and x-rays.
