Hi, in the past year my wisdom tooth has been growing out slowly and once in a while causing some pain to my jaw as it is growing out and affecting the areas around it. However recently I decided to take a squizz though my mouth and feel around the area of the growing wisdom tooth.
I had felt a small bump close to the tendon/tissue/gum part of my jaw. Took a look and it looked like this http://i.imgur.com/M9glUWN.jpg
Took a close look and seems like the wisdom tooth has been rubbing against my inner jaw. However there is now pain in the area at the moment, there was a bit of pain about a month or two ago.
Is this a type of infection? Pericoronitis? Please help!
