When wisdom teeth become inflamed, they are often accompanied by severe pain and discomfort in the mouth, but this does not mean that they can be removed directly. During pericoronitis of wisdom teeth, if wisdom teeth are removed, it can trigger serious infections and complications that are not conducive to wound healing.

After wisdom teeth are removed, it takes a certain amount of time for the extraction socket to heal. If an infection occurs during this process, it can cause the extraction socket to heal and even cause a dry socket. Dry socket is a common oral disease, which is mainly manifested as tooth extraction socket infection, pain and bad breath, etc., which need to be prompted**.

If wisdom teeth are removed during pericoronitis, it can cause an infection of the maxillofacial space. This can lead to swelling and pain in the face, and in severe cases, even affect the health of the entire mouth, head and neck. Therefore, during pericoronitis of wisdom teeth, aggressive measures should be taken to control inflammation and relieve symptoms, rather than rushing to remove wisdom teeth.

To alleviate the symptoms of pericoronitis in wisdom teeth, pericoronal irrigation and medication of wisdom teeth may be considered. This method can reduce symptoms by removing bacteria and inflammatory substances around wisdom teeth with topical medications and irrigation. At the same time, it can be combined with oral antibiotics to reduce inflammation and infection.

Wisdom tooth removal can only be considered after the symptoms of wisdom tooth pericoronitis have been relieved and the facial swelling and pain have disappeared. During this process, it is advisable to consult a professional dentist. They can assess whether wisdom teeth are suitable for removal on a case-by-case basis and provide appropriate plans and recommendations. In conclusion, it is important to be cautious and follow the advice of a medical professional when dealing with wisdom teeth problems.
