I have a partially erupted wisdom tooth, and I think I have periocoronitis...And I think its infected because my cheek is swollen, my jaw is stiff, and lateral border of my tounge is sore being on the same side of that tooth..Should I go see a dentist ASAP? I cant chew or open my mouth?! help
Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query yes these symptoms are of peritonitis don't worry about swollen cheek and reduced mouth opening you do warm saline rinses two - three times a day, and take Chat Doctor.  I will also suggest you to consult oral surgeon and go for curettage of infected partially erupted tooth and Iowa X-ray of wisdom tooth to know the orientation of wisdom tooth. Hope this will help you. Wishing you good health.
