At Northpointe Dental, we specialize in treating pericoronitis, a common but often painful condition that occurs when wisdom teeth do not have enough space to emerge or develop normally. Our skilled dentist and dedicated team are well-versed in the latest treatments to manage pericoronitis effectively, ensuring you receive the relief and care you deserve.
Comprehensive Pericoronitis Treatment
Pericoronitis can cause swelling, pain and even infection around the affected tooth, often leading to discomfort and difficulty chewing. We offer comprehensive treatment options tailored to your specific condition and severity, from thorough cleaning to more advanced procedures if necessary. Our goal is to alleviate your symptoms quickly and prevent the condition from recurring.
The Pericoronitis Treatment Process
The treatment for pericoronitis at our office includes a detailed and patient-centric approach:
- Evaluation: Our dentist will conduct a thorough examination to assess the extent of your condition and discuss the most effective treatment options with you.
- Cleaning: The area around the affected tooth will be carefully cleaned to remove any debris or bacteria, helping to reduce inflammation and pain.
- Medication: If infection is present, antibiotics may be prescribed to eliminate the infection. Pain relief methods are also provided to manage discomfort effectively.
- Surgical Options: In cases where pericoronitis is recurrent or severe, our dentist may recommend surgical intervention, such as the removal of the wisdom tooth or the overlying gum tissue, to provide a long-term solution.
