How long does wisdom tooth pericoronitis usually hurt?

  Wisdom tooth pericoronitis is an inflammation of the soft tissues surrounding the wisdom tooth, which will generally heal in about 1 week with timely and effective anti-inflammatory treatment.  It is best to see a dentist promptly when you have wisdom tooth pericoronitis, and dentists tend to take a combination of local and systemic treatment. The doctor will actively carry out local treatment: blind pocket rinsing and medication is very important for the local inflammation to subside, alternating local rinsing with 3% hydrogen peroxide and saline, and then local application of iodine glycerin to reduce inflammation, which should be done once a day if possible. If there is abscess formation in the pericoronal tissue, it should be promptly incised and drained. If a long course of disease is expected, such as complications of osteomyelitis and cellulitis, bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests should be done to provide reference for anti-infective treatment.  Systemic treatment should also be carried out: choose drugs that are effective for both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, generally oral antibacterial drugs can be used, if the infection is serious and eating is difficult to take intravenous fluids to give antibacterial drugs and systemic supportive therapy, which can effectively make the inflammation subside. The company’s main goal is to provide a comprehensive range of products and services to the public.
