As gross as the title sounds, here's the deal

For a good while now, a wisdom tooth has been ever so slowly pushing its way up through the gumline. Lately, it's been really itchy/sore, in addition to it bleeding, and sometimes an odd tasting fluid.

I'm concerned that I may have a bacterial infection that got in under the gum flap ( it's pretty unavoidable from what I've read )

I know I know, go see a dentist ( no dental insurance atm ), just wanted some input and opinions first.
