Pain in gums near jaw

Question

Asked for Male, 29 Years

Towards end of jaw, there is pain in gums. Last year similar pain was due to wisdom tooth coming. Can it be same thing again? How to reduce pain and remain hygienic?? How many days it will take to subside pain? PS: Had x ray last year, tooth is straight but gums are above that. Or it could be something else??? No other issue in body.

It is advisable to visit the dentist again and get a permanent solution for it. They will make a small incision on the gums to allow the tooth to grow out.
