Swollen and painful gums caused by wisdom teeth are difficult to heal on their own and usually require about 1 week of standardized treatment before they can be significantly relieved. Wisdom tooth gum swelling and pain is mainly considered to be due to wisdom tooth pericoronitis, which requires local or systemic treatment to control the diffusion of inflammation and prevent recurrent attacks from occurring. At present, in clinical practice, oral treatment is usually available with antibacterial and purgative types of drugs. Specific types of drugs include cefixime capsules, rhizome supra-cleansing tablets, compound jinyinhua granules, etc. In addition, topical treatment with topical agents, such as 1% hydrogen peroxide solution, compound borax solution, sterile physiological saline, etc., can be used to relieve adverse symptoms and prevent the occurrence of purulent infection. After the inflammatory symptoms are significantly relieved, some patients can also consider surgical procedures such as wisdom tooth extraction and pericoronal gingival flap wedge resection for radical treatment. In addition, if pericoronitis is not completely cured in time, it may not only develop into chronic inflammation, but may even cause various complications. It is recommended that when gum swelling and pain caused by wisdom teeth occurs, it is best to go to a hospital dentistry department for treatment in a timely manner to prevent additional pain.
