Wisdom tooth coming out. it has created a hole in my gum but the tooth is taking a very long time to grow. no pain or discharge, should i be worried?

Worried? Probably no: So many more important things to be worried about. You should. however, have that tooth evaluated. Most people do not have enough room for their wisdom teeth, and once they break through the surface, food and bacteria can get caught underneath the gum. Consider extraction.
