How to deal with wisdom tooth inflammation and pus discharge

Wisdom teeth are what we commonly call establishment teeth, which usually erupt between the ages of 18 and 25, and symbolize the arrival of wisdom. Generally, inflammation and pus discharge from wisdom teeth may be caused by pericoronitis or gingivitis. Food and bacteria accumulate between the soft tissue around the crown of the wisdom tooth and the teeth. When the resistance is reduced, pericoronitis will occur and it tends to recur. It is usually recommended to reduce food residues, rinse your mouth after meals, and eat some heat-clearing foods.

Methods and steps:

1. Rinse your mouth alternately with hydrogen peroxide and salt water. Rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide first. Add twice the amount of water to the hydrogen peroxide. Do not use the original solution. Then gargle with salt water several times a day and the symptoms will be relieved. It is very effective for mild wisdom tooth inflammation.

2. Infusion treatment. If the inflammation of the wisdom tooth is severe and not controlled in time, it is necessary to treat it through infusion, because taking anti-inflammatory drugs at this stage of wisdom tooth inflammation will not have much effect.

3. Remove wisdom teeth. For wisdom teeth that are often inflamed, we should go to a dental hospital to have them removed, because wisdom teeth themselves are of little use to us and there is no need to keep them. Of course, in a small number of cases where the wisdom teeth are in the correct position and there are wisdom teeth in the opposite jaw and their position is relatively normal, you can also consider retaining the wisdom teeth. In addition, most wisdom teeth need to be extracted.

4. Local treatment: Local treatment of wisdom tooth pericoronitis is very important. The blind bag can be flushed with 1-3% hydrogen peroxide solution, saline or other sterile solution every day, and then 3% iodine glycerol can be injected. Also give gargle with compound borax solution or furacillin solution several times a day. In the early stages, local physical therapy and external application of Chinese herbal medicine can also be used to help absorb inflammation. Acupuncture therapy can relieve pain and improve mouth opening. If abscess cavity is formed, it can be incised and drained.

5. Treat the pathogenic tooth: After the acute inflammation subsides, the pathogenic tooth should be further treated to prevent recurrence. If the teeth are in the correct position, can erupt normally, and have opposing teeth to perform chewing function, a pericoronal gingival flap wedge resection can be performed. Otherwise it should be removed.

6. Simple home care: rinse your mouth with warm water or salt water or oral rinse every day; for flushing, you can use a sterilized injection needle to bend it, and use chlorhexidine or hydrogen peroxide and normal saline to flush the crown bag; you can take sulfonamides orally, and inject antibiotics when necessary. If abscesses are formed, you should go to a hospital for specialist diagnosis and treatment; you can also use: Niuhuang Jiedu Pills, take 1-2 pills each time, twice a day, or Jiedu Xiaoyan Pills, take 4-6 pills each time, 3 times a day
