White tissue around wisdom tooth
I experienced some pain a few weeks ago when I was told that my wisdom tooth was erupting. I was prescribed some painkillers and antibiotics which helped to ease the pain. Today, I noticed some white tissue and swelling around the place where the wisdom tooth is erupting, but not so much pain. I'm also experiencing a bitter taste at the back of my throat. Do I need to have an extraction? 27(M) I'm a smoker.
