it's infected and you can either try to kill it with broad spectrum antibiotics which are a crapshoot and might not fix it and you'll still lose the tooth but you can put off the extraction for a while

otherwise you need to get it out ASAP or it will abscess and you are at risk for some really nasty and painful infections that will likely lead to your death

Hi, real dental assistant here. Anyways, most people are born with 4 wisdom teeth, it would be your third molar on any quadrant in your mouth, top left, bottom left, top right or bottom right. Just start counting from your first molar, and if it's the 3rd one back, that's a wisdom tooth! The tooth being grey is a weird way to describe it. If the gum around the tooth is grey that means blood isn't getting to that area around the tooth. Swollen gums can be because a number of things. Trauma to the tissue, a periapricle abcess, which means you need a root canal. Or in extreme cases it could mean the tooth is not growing at an angle that is good for your jaw.

TL:DR: Wisdom teeth are your third molars, and see a dentist and get it checked out!

swish it out with hydrogen peroxide (kills bacteria, would help fight an infection), take some ibuprofen if it hurts. Do this until you are able to see your dentist.

-protoIs dental care like really expensive or something in the uk? Just go to a dentist.

The majority of healthcare in the UK is free, but dentalcare isn't. Examinations cost ~£20 with prices for treatment varying up to about £220. As such, people in the UK don't generally go in for cosmetic dentistry and will only go to the dentist if there's something wrong/for a routine checkup.
