Recurrent wisdom tooth pericoronitis can be treated by local rinsing, medication and surgery.
1. Local rinsing: Local rinsing usually involves rinsing the blind pocket around the wisdom tooth with hydrogen peroxide and saline to clean the bacteria and food debris in the blind pocket, and then applying iodized glycerin on the blind pocket to make the blind pocket converge.
2. Medication: When wisdom teeth are inflamed, systemic anti-inflammatory treatment can be administered. In most cases, oral anti-inflammatory drugs such as cephalosporins and nitroimidazoles can be considered. Cephalosporins are very common, such as cefuroxime and cefadroxil, and nitroimidazoles are common, such as metronidazole and ornidazole.
3. Surgical treatment: After the inflammation of wisdom teeth is relieved, extraction is carried out under the guidance of professional doctors to treat the root cause of wisdom teeth pericoronitis.
Patients suffering from wisdom teeth pericoronitis are recommended to carry out standardized treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor, and the use of medication should be in accordance with medical advice.
