Can Pericoronitis Has Symptoms Like Swollen Wisdom Teeth Along With Foul Taste?
Dear Sir,
The gum around my wisdom tooth has gotten infected and swollen. I suspect it is pericoronitis. I had a similar problem around 2 years ago. I cannot open my mouth fully and the gum is painful when I touch it. There is foul taste in my mouth and I think some pus too.
