I have 28 teeth and my age is nearly 20 and after my last teeth in my right side of jaw my gum is swelling also a little bit in left side of jaw also. What might be the problem. Is it due to wisdom teeth? It doesn't pain but sometimes very slight?

Yes its called as pericoronotis which is inflammation of gums surrounding wisdom tooth. If the tooth is coming out in proper direction then nothing to worry. But if is embedded in bone partly and errupting in wrong direction it might trouble in future. Right now you can visit your dentist get x ray done. He will cut extra gums so tht there will not be food retention and swelling in guns. Rinse twice with lukewarm water with salt in it.
