A member asked:

If my gum is swollen and have extra teeth coming on that gum and it's painful what must i do?

Wisdom teeth: If you are just getting teeth now they may be wisdom teeth. Keep area clean. Soft diet. Take OtC analgesics until you can get to see a specialist Oral Surgeon for evaluation and treatment.

See a dentist: Without an examination, it's difficult to diagnose exactly what the problem is and what treatment is necessary
