Hi dear ,
As per your query the white bumps and swollen gum near wisdom tooth are two different things .
First the white bumps on the tongue are probably lie bumps also known as Transient Lingual Papillitis . They are basically swollen papillae . They occur due to may reasons like stress , hormonal changes and irritation due to sharp point on tooth or and dental appliance . Usually they go away in few days without any treatment . I would suggest you to do warm saline rinses several times a day and apply orabase gel before eating anything to prevent discomfort .
Secondly the swollen gum near wisdom tooth is probably a pericoronal flap , which occur due to bite on gum due to impacted tooth . I would suggest you to do betadine rinses 2-3 times a day and consult oral surgeon . Doctor may remove the flap under local anesthesia or recommend extraction on wisdom tooth if impacted .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
