Sore And Swelling Face Due To Wisdom Tooth Breaking Through Gums. Due For Tooth Removal In 3 Weeks. Suggest
I am 20 years old and my wisdom teeth and breaking through the gums and hurting. I am scheduled to have my wisdom teeth removed in 3 weeks time. Right now the side of my face is swollen and quite sore. I am out of my home country and although I have some health coverage, not sure what it would cover. What do you suggest I do?

hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
Wisdom tooth erruption is often associated with pain and swelling.
I would suggest you to start with the course of antibiotics and analgesics under the prescription of Dentist.
Take lukewarm saline rinses to give a soothing effect.
Use antiseptic mouthwash rinses like chlorhexidine twice daily.
You can get the tooth extracted in three weeks.
Hope you find this answer as helpful.
Take care!

Hi
As your wisdom tooth is erupting so sometimes it becomes difficult to maintain hygiene around it.
Due to which food gets lodged distally to the wisdom tooth.
You need to maintain good oral hygiene and use antiseptic mouthwash.
Take antibiotic coverage and flanil tablet for infection and swelling control.
