It may not be serious, but it may last until the tooth is gone.
It lasts until the cause of infection is removed, which is the wisdom tooth itself, it may be decayed or broken or packing food for you. Please go visit your dentist to help you out.
Any active infection can be serious, especially in the head & neck area. It won’t go away unless you receive treatment.
Yes, that can be very serious. Please see an oral surgeon soon. The only way to resolve is a professional removing the wisdom teeth. Then a prior course of medication and possible debridement of the area. Go in soon, call and get an appointment.
Wisdom tooth infection is serious and needs to be treated immediately with antibiotics and possibly extraction of the tooth. You need to see your doctor asap.
It will last until properly treated.
