My gums around my wisdom tooth thats growing is swollen. I can see the jaw expanding. There is no pain only when I eat,there is only discomfort cause its swollen. What can I do or should I just wait till thursday for my dentist appointment? Is there something serious that can happen if i dont go sooner? and do they put laughing/sleeping gas when they are taking it out, I dont want to feel anything, nothing at all?

Looks like you have impacted wisdom teeth.
Those teeth are not coming in straight, and this is irritating the gum tissue around the last molars of your mouth, causing severe pain in your mouth in some cases. Even more serious dental problems, including malocclusion (poor bite) can result from impacted wisdom teeth.
The only way out is extraction of those teeth. Better see your dentist, or preferably, an oral surgeon. The big drawback is that there will be big bleeding during the extraction and some post-operative pain afterwards that will only last a few days, but it will all be worth it.
Good luck, young lady.....

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth out at once. Mine were always bleeding, swollen, in pain etc. I also had mouth ulcers (even had to be hospitalised at one stage). The moment they were removed I left all of these problems behind me (that was 15 years ago!). They said it was due to "crowding" (too many teeth, not enough room). I had them out "in the chair" (I was awake). They give anaesthetic so you won't feel the extraction. I survived without "going under" (You can be put to sleep for this). It's not the most pleasant experience in the world but there is a lot worse you can go through. It's no different than going to a normal dentist. The only difference is that this dentist is a specialty dentist.

just a regular process of your tooth trying to come through the gum.. visit the dentist to make sure its coming out straight and there are no problems

I just recently went throught this about a month ago. I got a root canal. You are probably just better off getting an extraction.
