Treatment of pericoronitis in Kharkiv
Pericoronitis is an inflammation of the gums around a wisdom tooth that has not fully erupted. At FamiDent dentistry, we help quickly eliminate pain, inflammation, and discomfort using modern treatment methods and a delicate approach to each patient.
Symptoms and causes of pericoronitis
Inflammation most often occurs near the lower wisdom teeth, when bacteria and food debris accumulate under the gums.
- pain and swelling of the gums near the wisdom tooth;
- difficulty opening the mouth;
- unpleasant smell or taste in the mouth;
- pus discharge from under the gums;
- pain when chewing;
- fever and weakness;
- inflammation of the lymph nodes.
Without timely treatment, the infection can spread to nearby tissues and cause serious complications.
How is the treatment?
The doctor will perform an examination, X-ray, or CT scan to assess the position of the wisdom tooth and the degree of inflammation. The treatment method is selected individually.
- professional cleaning of the inflamed area;
- treatment with antiseptic drugs;
- elimination of pus and inflammation;
- prescribing medication;
- home care recommendations;
- if necessary, excision of the ash hood;
- wisdom tooth extraction in difficult cases.
