Q.
I have got really annoyingly painful pericorontitis becuase my wisdom teeth are coming through. The pain is really bad and is affecting me during the day? Do you know if there is anything I can do to help ease the pain? My dentist said the wisdom teeth were not impacted so he would rather not remove the wisdom teeth and just recommended that I use pain relieving medication. Do you have any other more helpful advice or is there all that can be done?

A.
Find a new dentist. Pericoronal infections are not very pleasant and can evolve to more complicatied conditions. Removal of the wisdom teeth is quite often the choice of treatement. Occasionally, removal of the infected overlying tissue can resolve the problem.
