as evident in your attached OPG. we also beed to clinically see.
but based on OPG best solution is to remove the wisdom tooth. as there is no space and this may cause recurrent gum infection as the area is not accessible to toothbrush also.
even if you opt for operculectomy... chances or relapse may exist (depends)
best to contact dentist and schedule for surgical extraction.
hope this answers your query
Next Steps
for temporary relief warm saline gargle
Health Tips
operculectomy may end up costing you 1k-2k
wisdom tooth extraction may end up between 3k-5k . and then also morbidity and pain in both cases. so best is to remove so it doesnt cause recurrent problems
