Infected Wisdom Tooth: Symptoms, Treatment, and When It Is an Emergency
An infected wisdom tooth usually causes pain at the back of the jaw, a swollen or red gum, a bad taste or smell, and sometimes swelling of the cheek or difficulty opening your mouth. The most common cause is a partly erupted lower wisdom tooth with a flap of gum that traps food and bacteria (pericoronitis). Rinses and careful cleaning can settle a mild flare-up, but an infection that keeps returning, spreads, or comes with fever needs a dentist or oral surgeon. Trouble swallowing or breathing is an emergency.
Read article Wisdom TeethWisdom Teeth Swelling: Causes, How Long It Lasts, and When to Call
Swelling around wisdom teeth comes in two very different forms. Swelling after wisdom teeth removal is expected: it usually appears the day after surgery, peaks around day 2 or 3, and then steadily improves over the following days. Swelling before removal is different. A swollen gum or cheek around a wisdom tooth that has not been removed usually points to an infection or irritation, such as pericoronitis, and should be assessed by a dentist or oral surgeon.
Read article Wisdom TeethDo You Need Antibiotics After Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Most healthy patients do not need antibiotics after routine wisdom teeth removal. Surgeons prescribe them selectively: when there is an existing infection, when surgery is more involved (for example, deeply impacted teeth or bone removal), or when a patient's medical history raises the risk of infection. If you were given antibiotics, take the full course exactly as directed.
