Urgent dentist in Stockport 2023: You may notice the pain appear and then disappear. This could be happening over a long time period. The pain can be from the eruption process itself (this is often mild discomfort/pain) or from the local inflammation in the gum surrounding the wisdom tooth (Pericorinitis). Pericorinitis means the gums around the erupting wisdom tooth is inflamed as food and bacteria are trapped. The area then swells up and then the opposing tooth can bite on the inflamed area which makes the problem even worse. Because of their position, wisdom teeth are also likely to get gum disease and decay as they can be difficult for patients to keep clean.

Swellings in the mouth are often caused by dental abscesses. They are effectively when spaces fill up with pus and cells from your body’s immune system. They can affect your gums, teeth or the bone surrounding your teeth. If the abscess is related to teeth, it is because decay has got to the nerve of the tooth and it has effectively ‘died’. As a result, the bacteria travel out of the tooth through the roots. The body tries to ensure the bacteria do not travel any further so therefore it creates the abscess. Though decay is the most common cause it can also be due to injury to teeth (trauma).
You may be surprised to discover that baking soda is a natural tooth whitener. It’s actually in most kinds of toothpaste! To use it directly on your teeth and whiten them mix a quarter of a teaspoon of baking soda with some water to make a paste. Then simply apply it to your teeth. You’ll need to do this every day to see the effects, it’s a gradual process. This is great for your teeth and your gums. Simply add a teaspoon of salt to a cup of boiled water and let it cool. You can then use it in the same way as you would a mouthwash. The salt is a natural antibacterial, killing unfriendly bacteria in your mouth.
Why will antibiotics not do the job? You may be thinking that if there is a bacterial infection, why would antibiotics alone not cure the problem? The basic explanation for this is that the bacteria inside the canal are protected and the antibiotics simply CANNOT reach them. If the infection has spread to around your tooth, into the supporting structures or further afield, then antibiotics may be appropriate as part of a broader treatment plan. This will always depend on the judgement of the dentist following detailed history and examination. Treatment with antibiotics alone will almost always ensure a return of the infection as the causative tooth has not been managed.
Make an appointment. Most experts recommend a dental check-up every 6 months — more often if you have problems like gum disease. During a routine exam, your dental hygienist will remove plaque build-up that you can’t brush or floss away and look for signs of decay. They will also look for early signs of oral cancer, wear and tear from teeth grinding, and signs of gum disease. Read more details at https://www.dentaltriage.co.uk/.
