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..

While some people may not experience any problems with their wisdom teeth, there are certain circumstances where removal may be recommended: Impacted wisdom teeth: Teeth that cannot fully erupt can cause pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth. Cysts and tumours: In rare cases, cysts or tumours may develop around wisdom teeth. Gum disease: Wisdom teeth can be difficult to clean, increasing the risk of gum disease.
Not to. Do not attempt to pull your own wisdom teeth. It is dangerous and can be extremely painful. Unless you are a dentist, you do not have the proper means or knowledge of pulling and caring for the removal of a wisdom tooth.
Wisdom teeth primarily affect the jaw and surrounding structures, including the gums and adjacent teeth. When they become impacted or fail to erupt properly, they can cause pain, infection, and damage to neighboring teeth. Additionally, complications can arise in the jawbone and sinuses, leading to further discomfort and issues. However, wisdom teeth do not directly harm other organs in the body.
The teeth curl backwards to prevent struggling prey from escaping.
