Is this what they call Wisdom Tooth?
ok i'm 18 .. i just woke up this morning with my right gum swelling .. its actually on the far back and theres a little tooth coming out of my gum. Its really small and its grinding with my top far right teeth when I bite.. theres also a blood around it. Wisdom tooth maybe? I heard people get this thing removed .. but mine is so small i mean its just a small tooth .. how can a dentist remove this? or do I let it grow then go to the dentist .. oh by the way IT HURTS!!! I cant eat and only had a 4 hours sleep ahhh

Answers:
Definitely sounds like a wisdom tooth. You may think it is small because only a small part of tooth has come out the gum so far. It is actually a full sized molar just like you're other large teeth.
If the pain continues the tooth may be impacted and could get infected. I would go the dentist as soon as possible to have it checked.
