Treatment
Wisdom Tooth Infection
Swelling and pain around a partly erupted wisdom tooth that needs prompt treatment.
An infection can form around a wisdom tooth that has only partly come in, trapping bacteria under the gum.
We clean the area, treat the infection, and decide whether the tooth should come out.
Clearing the infection eases pain and keeps it from spreading through the jaw and neck.
