Question:
Is it okay for my gum to swell after i get a wisdom tooth in?
Answers:
Go see a dentist ASAP
No - especially if it is painful. One of my wisdom teeth swelled in December and the cause was it was infected. My dentist put me on antibiotics and then I had to go see an oral surgeon a few weeks later and get my wisdom teeth taken out.
In most cases, all is needed is antibiotics. But NEVER ignore an infection as it can and will spread and cause serious problems and illness ( worst case senario, even death)
