Cause:When wisdom teeth do not fully erupt, a blind pocket will form around the tooth crown. Food debris and bacteria can easily get stuck in it, causing redness, swelling, pain and even pus formation in the gums.

Manifestations of harm:

Severe local pain: The pain intensifies when chewing, swallowing or opening the mouth, and may radiate to the ears or face.

Facial swelling: The spread of inflammation may cause swelling of the cheeks and jaw, affecting opening the mouth and eating.

General symptoms: In severe cases, it may be accompanied by fever, headache, swollen lymph nodes, and even induce space infections (such as masseter muscle space infections, which may lead to difficulty in opening the mouth or osteomyelitis of the jawbone).

If you have persistent toothache or oral discomfort, it is recommended that you seek medical attention promptly for a check-up to avoid delaying treatment.
