Inflammation and swelling of the gums of wisdom teeth is usually wisdom teeth pericoronitis, the treatment method is local rinsing, incision and drainage, when the inflammation becomes chronic, the wisdom teeth that can not erupt normally will be extracted, if the wisdom teeth can erupt normally, the gingival flap will be removed, as follows.
1. Local rinsing: use saline to rinse the blind pocket until the overflow liquid is clear, wipe dry and put iodized glycerin into the gingival pocket.
2. Incision and drainage: If there is abscess formation, the gums should be incised in time to drain the pus.
3. Treatment after the inflammation becomes chronic: for the blocked wisdom teeth that cannot erupt normally, they should be extracted to avoid the recurrence of wisdom teeth pericoronitis. For wisdom teeth that can erupt normally and establish occlusion, they can be retained in the oral cavity to exercise the function of mastication, and it is necessary to excise the excess gingival flap around them to eliminate the blind pockets, so as to avoid the recurrence of wisdom tooth pericoronitis.
It is recommended to visit the hospital in time for early professional treatment.
