Wisdom teeth usually make their appearance between the ages of 17 and 21, though it's possible for them to push through earlier or later.

Dear lybrate-user, if there is swelling and pain in your gums it could be due to tooth or gum infection. In this case I strongly recommend you to visit a dentist immediately, as the infection may spread. The dentist will not only stop the pain but also treat the swelling.
