You're teething: Yeas, probably due to wisdom tooth. Please see your Dentist. Don't be surprised if you are referred to a wisdom tooth Specislist, an Oral Surgeon.

28 yr old female, experiencing swollen gum behind lower back molar- left side. Hurts mostly when touched. Never had bottom wisdom teeth, only the 2 top ones came in my early 20s. Could this be a wisdom tooth erupting? Swelling is in that area.
