Hello,

Well, if it is not possible to get the wisdom tooth extracted, then treating infection is an option. However it depends on what kind of infection you have, that means that is the infection present in the wisdom tooth in the form of decay or is it due to inflammation of the gum flap over the wisdom tooth.

If it is due to decay in the wisdom tooth, then root canal treatment can be done if other conditions are stable and under control. If it is due to inflammation of the gum flap, then antibiotics and localized cleaning of the gum can help in the resolution of infection. So it is better to once consult an oral surgeon and get evaluated.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
