Wisdom teeth that are inflamed, swollen and painful in early pregnancy can be treated by removing irritating factors, local medication, systemic medication and elective extraction.

Remove irritating factors: During pregnancy, due to changes in progesterone, gums are prone to inflammation, especially wisdom teeth, which are more difficult to clean, easily causing the accumulation of food debris, plaque, calculus and other foreign objects, which stimulate the gums and aggravate the pain, you can use flossing or flossing instruments under the guidance of the doctor to enhance daily care, remove irritating factors and relieve inflammation.
2. Local medication: If the wisdom teeth are malpositioned and form a blind pocket, you can go to the hospital stomatology department and let the doctor use 3% hydrogen peroxide solution and saline to rinse the gingival sulcus and the blind pocket alternately, and then place iodized glycerine cotton twists for anti-inflammation after thoroughly cleaning up the foreign matter.
3. Systemic medication: If the pain still cannot be relieved after the conventional treatment of wisdom teeth and seriously affects the physical and mental health of pregnant women, they can use less irritating drugs such as acetylspiramycin tablets to carry out systemic anti-infective treatment under the professional guidance of the doctor, but it is necessary to pay attention to the need to be careful with the use of medication in the early stages of pregnancy, so as to avoid affecting the health of the fetus.
4. Elective removal: If wisdom tooth gum swelling and pain recurs in early pregnancy, it is best to control the inflammation with hygienic care in the early stage of pregnancy, and wait until mid-pregnancy between 4 and 6 months to consult the doctor for elective removal of wisdom teeth, to prevent the recurrent inflammation of wisdom teeth from affecting the health of the pregnant woman.
