My gums of my front teeth have been swelling while im cutting my wisdom teeth... the pain of this travels it seems to the center of my head... ive been chronically using benzocaine (20%)... this has been going on for about a month... at times I could almost pass out. What options do I have to rid myself of this ailment without surgery?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain, swollen gums,and head ache could be because of the gum infection over the wisdom tooth (pericoronal infection leading to abscess formation).
Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed.
If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed.
If I am your treating doctor, I would have advised take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic).
Do saline gargling. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
