Hi

What you have is pericoronitis. This is usually due to a partially erupted 3rd molar. If there is not enough space for the third molar to fully erupt into the mouth, it is best to have it extracted.

But sir ... Dentist told me wait for like you feel more pain or uncomfortable... Otherwise its okay.. Its a on off pain.. But it is from last long time... And if i extract 3rd moral. Then procissure is cut bone then extrct my teeth... Doing daily 2 time brush and warm salty but not help.

If the pain does not subside, you will need to have the teeth removed. Try taking anti-inflammatory medication if you have at home
