A swollen lump of flesh next to your wisdom teeth usually doesn’t go away on its own.
Repeated localized inflammation and swelling and bleeding around the wisdom teeth can cause fibrous connective tissue to grow and form polyps. If left untreated, polyps usually do not go away on their own. However, when the body’s resistance is strengthened and attention is paid to proper diet and oral hygiene, the swelling around the wisdom teeth will gradually subside.
The treatment involves scraping the periodontal pocket of the wisdom tooth to remove the granulation tissue and secretions, and rinsing it with a large amount of 1%~3% hydrogen peroxide solution and saline. Anti-inflammatory medications are then placed in the periodontal pockets, and polyps can be removed if necessary. If the wisdom teeth are not erupting in the correct position, they can easily harbor dirt, periodontal treatment has little effect, and the polyps remain for a long time. The polyp will need to be removed before it can slowly disappear.
Patients should go to the hospital stomatology department in time to clarify the degree of wisdom tooth inflammation, under the guidance of the doctor for standardized treatment.
