To cure a wisdom tooth infection, there are two options.

Option 1:

If your wisdom tooth is normal, you need to follow a course of antibiotics to get rid off the infection, and maintain oral hygiene in order to avoid getting back such infection.

Option 2:

If your wisdom tooth is impacted, first you need to follow a course of antibiotics to get rid off the infection, while maintaining oral hygiene in order to avoid getting back such infection, and then get it extracted by an oral surgeon before the impacted tooth outgrows and damages the adjacent tooth.

Tooth extraction can be done with just a local anesthesia using nitrous oxide (laughing gas ), or general anesthesia with an injection..

When to Consider Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Wisdom teeth removal is recommended when these third molars begin to cause problems or are likely to in the future. While not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed, dentists and oral surgeons often suggest it in the following situations: 1. Impaction – If your wisdom teeth are impacted (trapped beneath the gums or growing at an angle), they can lead to pain, swelling, or infection. In such cases, wisdom teeth removal is typically necessary to avoid complications. 2. Overcrowding – When there isn’t enough space in your jaw, wisdom teeth can push other teeth out of alignment. This is especially important if you've had orthodontic treatment. Removing wisdom teeth helps prevent shifting. 3. Tooth Decay or Gum Disease – Wisdom teeth are located at the very back of the mouth and can be difficult to clean. This makes them more prone to cavities and gum infections. If your dentist notices decay or inflammation, wisdom teeth removal might be advised. 4. Cysts or Jaw Damage – In rare cases, impacted wisdom teeth can cause cysts or even damage to surrounding bone and teeth. Early removal can prevent these serious issues. 5. Persistent Pain or Pressure – If you frequently experience jaw pain, pressure in the back of your mouth, or headaches due to your wisdom teeth, it may be time to consider removal. When is wisdom teeth removal not needed? If your wisdom teeth are: Fully erupted Properly aligned Not causing any pain Easy to clean and maintain …then you may not need extraction. Your dentist can monitor them through regular checkups and X-rays. Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed, but if you’re experiencing discomfort or complications, it’s best to talk to your dentist or oral surgeon. They can guide you on whether wisdom teeth removal is right for your situation.
