What Could Be The Reason For Having Pain And Soreness In My Wisdom Tooth?

Hi there
Having some problems with my bottom left wisdom tooth, it's half through but has been quiet sore over the last week twice a day I have been pushing on the gum behind the tooth and the gum separates from the tooth a little bit and yello like puss comes out. It's quiet painful and very sore when eating. What could be the cause of this?
Thank you

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us
Wisdom teeth pain can be a sign of impacted wisdom teeth, which occurs when wisdom teeth are prevented from emerging by the jaw bone or other teeth. Impacted wisdom teeth are more difficult to remove, leave you at greater risk for complications from surgery, and can permanently damage bones and other teeth. Also, the longer wisdom teeth pain persists, the more likely it is that an infection will result from bacteria entering open tissue.
Hope this helps you.
Wishing you good health...
Regards.
