Iam 22 years old and all 4 of my lovely wisdom teeth have been coming in for what seems like a few years now, all of them are practically visible and none cause any pain or issues besides my dreaded bottom left. Its always been the only one that has caused pain and only my bottom teeth have drastically crowded taking straight teeth to very crooked. I have also noticed that this pain comes in cycles Ill have wisdom tooth issues one week then the next its gone and this has been reoccurring more frequently and more severely the past few months. My main symptoms this time around includeEar pain on affected side Painful to touch lymph node under the back of my jaw line Difficulty swallowing  General left side neck discomfort Bad smell coming from affected areaI dont know what my next step should be I need some help and reassurance thank you
helloWelcome to Chat Doctor. I have gone through your past dental history and your symptoms indicate of Peritonitis that has developed round your bottom left wisdom toothPericoronitis develops when wisdom teeth only partially breaks through the gum. This allows an opening for bacteria to enter around the tooth and cause an infection. If the peritonitis is severe, the swelling and infection may extend beyond the jaw to the cheeks and neck. This can be treated with antibiotics and painkillers alone .but if the pain and inflammation are severe, or if the peritonitis recurs, you will need oral surgery to have the gum flap or wisdom tooth removed. It is advisable that you to visit a periodontist as soon as possible. Get well soon. Take care.regards
