Having Inflammation In Gums Around Wisdom Tooth. Having Pain. Prescribed Antibiotics And Ibuprofen. Remedy?

Hi,
It is common that due to trapping of food particles between erupted wisdom tooth and gum can give rise to infection leading to swelling and pain at the site.
now as wisdom tooth is removed, within 3-4 days you will be alright.
If there is no improvement then you may require one antibiotic medicine after consulting your dentist.
Do salt water gargles.
Ok and take care.

Hi,
As your wisdom tooth is partially erupted, food accumulation occurs in the gum.
Improper oral hygiene leads to inflammation of the gum, resulting in pain and swelling.
Consult your dentist for irrigation with betadine around the wisdom tooth.
Take Amoxicillin and maintain good oral hygiene.
Take Care

Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

Post extraction of wisdom tooth usually associated with pain ,headache,fever etc.

Take amoxycillin antibiotics along with analgesics.

Take rest and avoid stressful jobs.

Maintain oral hygiene well.

Take care.

Dear friend.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

Wisdom tooth extraction takes time to heal.

Here i would like to suggest you, to revisit your dentist,and get the lower wisdom tooth re examined.The cause for pain and infection is the lower wisdom tooth and not the upper one.

yes, this is true that if the above tooth causes continuous pressure and irritation to the lower tissue over the tooth, than it is better to extract that tooth.

so presently two things are essential to overcome pain.

one is please start a course of antibiotics soon upon consultation,and secondly get the lower wisdom tooth extracted too.

Hope i have explained you the cause and remedy too.

Thanks.

Take care.

HI,

Thanks for asking the query,

Pain and swelling are very common after wisdom tooth extraction you dont worry about them as they will subside after sometimes.
Take complete rest avoid stress and anxiety.
Follow the post extraction instructions given by the Dentist properly.
Take lukewarm saline and antispetic mouthwash rinses.
Maintain a good oral hygiene, avoid eating from that side.

Hope this helps out.

hi..
thanks for the query...
well... the opposing tooth was one of the reason for inflamation but there are other reasons too...
i.e. food accumulation between the gum and tooth... and the space available for the tooth to erupt...
you should visit your dentist again... request him to irrigate and clean the area between your tooth and gum... antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs are required too... do warm saline rinses 6-7 times a day...
another thing is to check the space.. for that radiograph of tooth is required... if space seems to be available, then go for a small procedure called operculectomy... in which inflamed tissue over the tooth is removed...
if space is not available, then please go for its extraction...
hope it will help you...
take care...
