Wisdom Tooth Infections :Don’t Ignore the Warning Signs

If a wisdom tooth has not enough space to erupt, it may push against the gum in a flap and cause bacteria to be hidden there. This may develop into pericoronitis infection that can spread if not treated.

Common symptoms of infection:

Swelling in gums or jaw

Redness and soreness at the back of your mouth

Pus or bad taste in the mouth

Trouble opening your mouth (trismus)

Fever or swollen lymph nodes

Why it’s hazardous:

Untreated infections have the potential to spread to the throat, neck, or even bloodstream becoming a serious medical threat.

What to do:

Visit a dentist right away

Saltwater rinses can help alleviate pain for a little while

Avoid chewing on the affected side

Take prescribed antibiotics or extraction instructions

Prevention:

Routine dental check-ups & cleanings prevent wisdom teeth from becoming wisdom woes.

Many people ignore wisdom tooth pain thinking it’s normal, but it can turn serious if left untreated. These signs are easy to overlook, so it’s great that you’ve explained them clearly. Regular dental checkups really do make a big difference.

So true! Wisdom tooth pain isn’t something to wait and see about. I’ve seen how quickly a small swelling can turn serious. Early check-ups really can save us from a lot of trouble.
