What to do if your gums swell and hurt when your wisdom teeth grow

What to do if your gums are swollen and painful when wisdom teeth grow? This is a problem that people with wisdom teeth particularly want to solve, because friends who have grown wisdom teeth know that growing wisdom teeth is particularly painful and uncomfortable. However, it does not rule out that some people's wisdom teeth will not hurt, and some wisdom teeth can grow out, while some wisdom teeth cannot grow out from the gums. No matter which case, as long as there is pain, it will be very painful.

If your gums are swollen and painful due to wisdom teeth, you need to pay attention to oral hygiene. It is best to rinse your mouth with salt water more often, especially after eating. Remember to rinse your mouth with salt water, which can reduce the pain. In addition, many wisdom teeth need to be removed. If they are not removed, the pain will continue. Therefore, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for treatment. Here are some methods to treat swollen and painful gums due to wisdom teeth.

Wisdom teeth refer to the four third molars on the innermost part of the alveolar bone in the human mouth, one on the upper, lower, left and right sides. Because these four third molars begin to erupt around the age of 20, when a person's physical and psychological development is close to maturity, they are regarded as a symbol of the "arrival of wisdom" and are therefore called "wisdom teeth." But growing wisdom teeth is a very uncomfortable process. How should we get through this process?

Methods/Steps

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene and clean your mouth frequently. Because wisdom teeth are at the back, it is inconvenient to clean. You can choose to use mouthwash or gargle with warm water and salt. Gargle with warm water and salt is the fastest way to relieve pain because salt itself has bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects.

2 You can use ice compress method, cut the ice into small pieces, and then put the ice on the inflamed area, which is very effective in relieving pain. If you can't stand the stimulation of ice, you can choose to put the ice on the outside of the inflamed teeth and apply cold compress against your face. After you get used to it, you can put the ice inside.

3 If there is no relief, you can go to the hospital for intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment. After the inflammation is eliminated, take an X-ray to see if the growth is normal before considering whether to remove it. Try not to pull it out if you can.

Precautions

Wisdom tooth extraction surgery needs to be performed after the wisdom tooth inflammation has been eliminated. Wisdom tooth extraction surgery cannot be performed when there is inflammation. You should choose a regular treatment institution and do not go to a small clinic without any guarantee for wisdom tooth extraction surgery.

Everyone has a simple understanding of what to do when your gums are swollen and painful when wisdom teeth grow. So if you have wisdom teeth, just give it a try. However, if you are a female friend who has wisdom teeth, you should pay more attention. If it is during menstruation or pregnancy, you must go to the hospital to treat your wisdom teeth, and inform the doctor of your condition before that and follow the doctor's treatment arrangements.
