When wisdom teeth become inflamed, patients may experience localized pain in the wisdom teeth, which may be like pins and needles, sometimes tenderness, as well as red, swollen gums around the wisdom teeth and, in severe cases, white pus oozing from the surrounding periodontal pockets.
These pus usually have an unpleasant smell that makes people feel very uncomfortable. When inflammation progresses further, it may cause an inflammatory response in the surrounding tissues, leading to symptoms such as facial swelling, fever, headache, and sometimes even weakness in the chewing muscles or inability to open the mouth.
In the early stages of acute inflammation, patients may experience mild pain and discomfort, which worsens when chewing, swallowing, and moving. As the disease progresses, there will be bursts of throbbing pain locally, which may reach its peak in a split second, making the patient feel very painful. Sometimes this pain even spreads to one side of the face, making the patient feel like the whole face hurts as if they have been pricked by a needle. When inflammation affects the masticatory muscles, the mouth cannot be opened, which can seriously affect the patient's daily life and work.
The above information is for reference only, if the inflammation of wisdom teeth is severe or persistent, it is recommended to consult a professional dentist in time.
