Hello mam, in case of swelling,pain and bad breath in the wisdom tooth region is mainly due to a condition known as pericoronitis. The permanent solution for this is the removal of the involved wisdom tooth because if not removed this condition recurs every few months.
Next Steps
visit your dentist

swelling n pain are indicative of infection.in mojority of cases the wisdom tooth doent come straight n it doesnt have sufficient space to come out.Hence it is advisable to remove it as soon as possible.CONTINUOUS BOUTS OF PAIN CAN LEAD TO CHRONIC NFECTIONS N LATER BONE INFECTIONS
