Wisdom tooth pericoronitis is the inflammation of the soft tissue around the crown of the third molar (also known as wisdom tooth). Whether or not wisdom tooth pericoronitis can be self-healed is related to the patient’s age and the growth of the wisdom tooth: 1. Age <20 years old: the growth of the wisdom tooth is in the right direction, and the upper and lower teeth have a corresponding occlusion, so it can be self-healed; 2. Age >20 years old: the growth of the wisdom tooth is less likely to occur. Male patients with symptoms can seek medical treatment at any time; adult females during pregnancy preparation, if symptoms such as pain occur, need to be dealt with as early as possible to avoid affecting the doctor’s choice of medication and treatment.
