What should I do if I have wisdom teeth and swollen gums?

  When our life journey comes to about 20 years old, our physiological and psychological changes are taking place. At this time, more subtle changes also occur in our mouth, in our alveolar bone on the innermost will grow four third molars, one on each side of the upper and lower, because our physical and psychological development to near maturity, so these teeth are seen as a symbol of the “arrival of wisdom”, that is, wisdom teeth. Although they are a good symbol, wisdom teeth can be very uncomfortable, and swollen and painful gums are one of the painful points.  Although wisdom teeth are inevitable for most people, there are ways to help prevent or reduce the pain of swollen gums when wisdom teeth are present.  The solution to the swollen and painful gums caused by wisdom teeth 1, pay attention to clean mouth When the pain comes, we can do is to pay attention to personal hygiene, regular cleaning of the mouth, which can reduce the chances of swollen and painful gums when growing wisdom teeth.  However, because the wisdom teeth is the most inside, so cleaning up a certain degree of difficulty, so we can also use mouthwash or warm water plus salt to achieve the purpose of cleaning our mouth, not only that, warm water plus salt can also achieve the purpose of anti-inflammatory sterilization.  2, ice on the painful parts When the pain comes, we can use the ice bag with ice water or ice against the face to cold compress the inflamed parts of the method, or directly put a small piece of ice into the inflamed parts to achieve the purpose of pain relief.  If the gums are swollen and painful for a long time because of wisdom teeth, we need to go to the hospital in time to get anti-inflammatory injections or anti-inflammatory drugs, or to have wisdom teeth extracted with the help of a doctor according to our situation.  What kind of wisdom teeth must be extracted?  1.Insufficient space With the continuous evolution of human beings, the space of dental arch is not enough to reach the growth space of wisdom teeth, which causes more than pain and difficult to clean, and in time, it will cause tooth decay, and then it will be necessary to extract, so it is better to extract early to avoid the painful process when growing out in the middle.  2.Wisdom tooth decay Because when wisdom tooth grows, it will form a dark corner with the next teeth and gums, which is not easy to clean, and in the long run, it will easily breed bacteria, thus causing inflammation and swelling, and forming tooth decay, which will not only increase the pain when growing out, but also decay the useless teeth even if they grow out, and the consequences are endless, so it is better to pull them out early to eliminate the consequences.  3.No pair of biting teeth Each tooth of human body will grow relative to each other to prevent overgrowth without obstruction, if the wisdom tooth has no pair of biting teeth will also do so, thus affecting the bite, harmful but not beneficial, so it needs to be extracted.  4. Infringement of neighboring teeth Wisdom teeth may grow in the wrong direction and position due to the growth space or biting habits, squeezing the teeth next to them, causing swollen and painful gums, uneven teeth and more than one toothache, which also need to be extracted.  Some wisdom teeth will not come out inside the alveolar bone, causing pain or forming lesions, which are considered as obstructive teeth, and should be extracted immediately after going to the hospital to take pictures to confirm the diagnosis.  However, if the wisdom tooth is in the right place and there is no decay, swelling, pain or inflammation, it is not necessary to remove it.
