Many people have wisdom teeth, which refer to the third innermost molar on the alveolar bone in the human oral cavity and the eighth tooth counting from the front teeth. Although wisdom teeth sound nice, they can kill people when they hurt. So is there any way to relieve it? What to do if wisdom teeth hurt
1. Rinse your mouth alternately with hydrogen peroxide and salt water
First rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide. Add twice the amount of water to the hydrogen peroxide. Do not use the original solution. Then rinse your mouth with salt water and rinse your mouth several times a day, and the symptoms will be relieved. Very useful for mild wisdom tooth inflammation.
2. Infusion treatment
If the inflammation of the wisdom teeth is severe and not controlled in time, then infusion is needed for treatment, because anti-inflammatory drugs are taken at this stage of wisdom tooth inflammation. The medicine no longer has much effect.
3. Extraction of wisdom teeth
For wisdom teeth that are often inflamed, we should go to the dental hospital for extraction, because the wisdom teeth themselves have little effect on us and there is no need to retain them. Of course, if a small number of wisdom teeth are in the correct position, and if there are wisdom teeth in the opposite jaw and the position is relatively normal, you can also consider retaining the wisdom teeth. In addition, most wisdom teeth need to be removed.
4. Local treatment
Local treatment of wisdom tooth pericoronitis is very important. The blind bag can be rinsed with 1-3 ml of hydrogen peroxide solution and normal saline or other sterilizing solutions every day, and then injected with 3 iodine glycerin. In addition, gargle with compound borax solution or nitrofurazone solution several times a day. In the early stage, local physical therapy and external application of Chinese herbal medicine can be used to help absorb inflammation. Acupuncture therapy can relieve pain and improve mouth opening. If a abscess cavity forms, it can be incised and drained.
5. Treat the source tooth
After the acute inflammation subsides, the source tooth should be further treated to prevent recurrence. If the teeth are in the correct position, can erupt normally, and the opposing jaw teeth can perform chewing function, pericoronal gingival flap wedge resection can be performed. Otherwise it should be removed.
6. Simple home care
Rinse your mouth with warm water or salt water or use oral gargle every day; rinse with a sterilized injection needle and bend it. Use chlorhexidine or hydrogen peroxide and physiological saline to flush the crown bag; you can take sulfa drugs orally, and inject antibiotics if necessary. If there is an abscess, you should go to the hospital for specialist diagnosis and treatment; you can also use Niuhuang Jiedu Pills (1-2 pills each time) , take 2 times a day) or Jiedu Xiaoyan Pills (take 4-6 pills each time, 3 times a day).
