FAQ
Pericoronitis is inflammation of the gum tissue surrounding a partially erupted tooth, most commonly the wisdom teeth. It occurs when bacteria and debris become trapped beneath the gum flap covering the tooth, leading to infection and swelling. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, difficulty opening the mouth, and a bad taste or odor.
Pericoronitis treatment aims to alleviate symptoms, manage infection, and promote healing. Depending on the severity, treatment may involve antibiotics, pain relief medications, gentle cleaning of the affected area, and in some cases, extraction of the affected tooth. Our team at Dr. Dahiwals Facial Aesthetics Center & Dental Clinic provides personalized care to address your specific needs and restore oral health.
While pericoronitis can cause significant discomfort and inconvenience, it is generally not considered a serious condition if promptly treated. However, if left untreated, it can lead to complications such as abscess formation, spreading infection, and damage to surrounding teeth and tissues. Seeking timely treatment is essential to prevent further problems and promote oral wellness.
Practicing good oral hygiene is key to preventing pericoronitis and other dental issues. This includes regular brushing and flossing, as well as routine dental check-ups and cleanings. If you have partially erupted wisdom teeth or other teeth at risk of pericoronitis, maintaining proper oral hygiene around these areas is crucial. Your dentist may also recommend removing impacted or problematic teeth to prevent future episodes of pericoronitis.
