I have severe pain and swelling around my Wisdom tooth impaction. What treatment is recommended?

Asked by Male, 34 ยท 2 days ago

Severe pain and swelling around a wisdom tooth impaction are usually due to infection of the surrounding gum (pericoronitis), and this typically needs dental treatment rather than home remedies alone. You should see a dentist as soon as possible. They may clean the area, prescribe pain relief and antibiotics if there is infection, and often recommend removal of the wisdom tooth to prevent repeated problems. Until then, you can rinse gently with warm salt water, maintain good oral hygiene, avoid chewing on that side, and take a mild pain reliever if needed. Seek urgent care if swelling increases, you develop a fever, or have difficulty opening your mouth or swallowing.
