Pain, swelling near upper wisdom teeth
I am having frequent pain and swelling between upper wisdom teeth and upper sexond last teeth. I consulted with 1-2 doctors and they said that the gap between last two tooth is much and this is causing infection. And so I should get wisdom tooth extracted.
But I don't want to extract the tooth at this age. I have taken antibiotics like Microdox-LBX, Flagyl 40 and I get relief as long as I take them. But after few days I get the same problem.
I am attaching the X ray of the upper left wisdom tooth area that was taken 5-6 days back.
Please provide proper solution that doesn't require extraction.

There is bone loss hence the space. If ypu dont remove your wisdom tooth, over time you will lose your second molar too.
Meanwhile you can floss and keep the area clean
