What should you pay attention to when your gums are swollen and painful when teeth are growing?

When children reach the stage of growing teeth or replacing teeth, they may experience swollen and painful gums. Those who have wisdom teeth will also experience this situation. This is a normal phenomenon. As long as appropriate care measures are taken, the pain can be effectively reduced and the growth of teeth can be promoted. First of all, parents should urge or help their children to pay attention to their oral hygiene and clean their mouths every day. If the gums are severely swollen and painful, ice can be applied to effectively relieve the pain, and relevant anti-inflammatory work should also be done.

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene and clean your mouth frequently. Because wisdom teeth are at the back, it is inconvenient to clean. You can choose to use mouthwash or gargle with warm water and salt. Gargle with warm water and salt is the fastest way to relieve pain because salt itself has bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects.

2 You can use ice compress method, cut the ice into small pieces, and then put the ice on the inflamed area, which is very effective in relieving pain. If you can't stand the stimulation of ice, you can choose to put the ice on the outside of the inflamed teeth and apply cold compress against your face. After you get used to it, you can put the ice inside.

3 If there is no relief, you can go to the hospital for intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment. After the inflammation is eliminated, take an X-ray to see if the growth is normal before considering whether to remove it. Try not to pull it out if you can.

You should choose a regular treatment institution and avoid going to a small clinic with no guarantees for wisdom tooth extraction surgery.
