Can you remove wisdom teeth when they hurt?

Generally speaking, it is not recommended to remove wisdom teeth when they hurt. Since wisdom teeth pain indicates that the wisdom teeth are still in an inflammatory state, at this time to pull out the inflammation is very easy to spread to the surrounding tissues, and even into the bloodstream to cause bacteremia.

Therefore, when wisdom tooth pain try to do medication first anti-inflammatory treatment, such as cefuroxime, cephalexin, metronidazole, ornidazole and other antibiotics, to control inflammation; if the pain is intolerable, the patient can also take oral ibuprofen, acetaminophen, loxoprofen sodium, and other painkillers. Waiting for the wisdom teeth to return to normal before doing the extraction is usually more effective. It is recommended that patients follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment and use the medication under the doctor’s guidance, do not blindly take it on your own.
