What Causes Improper Growth Of Wisdom Tooth?

My wisdom teeth is growing in however there is no room for it to grow in the rate in which it is supposed to grow, and what is happening is the tooth came out a little but the rest is still in the gum and the gum is overlaying the tooth that has not come out..it is similar to a flap of loose gum like an hole underneath it

Read your query as you have partialy erupted wisdom tooth condition termed as Pericoronitis. This happend when this is less space in arch leads to impaction of tooth . Impaction can be Mesioangular in your condition dont be worried so much for this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon and go for investigations Iopa Xray of tooth and discuss treatment if there is impaction there is no space for eruption of wisdom tooth then go for EXTRACTION of tooth .
In meantime maintain proper oral hygiene , Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
