🦷 Gum Pain Around Your Wisdom Tooth? Food Keeps Getting Stuck?

If you have pain or swelling at the back of your mouth, food repeatedly getting stuck around a wisdom tooth, bad taste, bad breath or difficulty opening your mouth, it may be time to get your wisdom tooth checked.

One common cause is pericoronitis — inflammation or infection of the gum around a partially erupted wisdom tooth.

❓ Why does my gum hurt around my wisdom tooth?

A partially erupted wisdom tooth can leave a small gum flap where food and bacteria get trapped. This can lead to gum inflammation, pain, swelling and recurrent infection.

The removal procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so the area is numb during treatment. Some soreness and swelling can be expected after extraction, particularly with a surgical removal.

❓ How do I know if I need a simple or surgical extraction?

The position and eruption of the wisdom tooth determine the type of removal required. A dental examination and appropriate X-ray help assess the tooth and plan the procedure safely.
