Inside my mouth on that side i noticed in the gum under my tooth a small raise and if i look in the mouth it almost looks like a tootChatDoctoring through or a small bit of white peeking through
[|AI|]  Hi! Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. You have not mentioned your age and exact region of swelling. Is that wisdom tooth area you are talking about where you feel a tooth appearing? If that's so, then this swelling is associated with eruption and temporary. Do warm saline rinse, Betadine gargles, maintain hygiene. You can get an x-ray done to check if tooth is straight or impacted. In case of impaction, you may need an extraction.However, if swelling is not in that area, then this is pus due to dental infection. Check for any cavity in nearby tooth. That affected tooth will need Root canal treatment. Ask dentist for antibiotic and painkiller prescription. Do warm saline gargles. Maintain oral hygiene. Hope the answer helps you. Thank you!
