I am 21 years old, female and suffering from slow impacting wisdom teeth. My problem is the swelling that causes my glands and inner mouth to swell to the point of stopping my breathing. Unfortunately my wisdom teeth are growing together although at different rates and because of this they cannot be removed due to the amount of gums still covering them. My query would be, would it be wise to lightly remove the pus within the swelling - only inside the mouth, with a needle or generally not so?
Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor forum. The swelling and pain are usually associated with post extraction of wisdom tooth. Please do visit a dentist for clinical and radiological examination of erupting tooth. If tooth is misplaced, it has to be removed. If there is adequate space for tooth eruption, flap overlying tooth has to be removed to enhance tooth eruption. Please take complete course of antibiotics too. Gargle frequently using warm saline Betadine rinse. Rinse mouth after every meal. Hope this helps.
