Pericoronitis
Wisdom teeth often appear in the late teens or early twenties, and in many cases, there isn’t enough space for them to fully erupt. When a wisdom tooth only partially comes through, a flap of gum tissue (called an operculum) may remain over part of the tooth.
Food particles and bacteria can easily become trapped under this flap, leading to pericoronitis — a painful infection of the surrounding gum.
Pericoronitis & Wisdom Teeth
Common symptoms include:
​
-
Pain or swelling around the wisdom tooth
-
Red, inflamed gum tissue
-
Bad taste or bad breath
-
Difficulty opening the mouth or chewing
-
In severe cases, fever and spreading infection
If untreated, pericoronitis can progress, affecting neighbouring teeth, bone, and even overall health. That’s why early diagnosis and care are so important.
At D4 Dentist in Dublin 4, our award-winning team carefully examines wisdom teeth using digital imaging and clinical assessment. Treatment may involve gentle cleaning of the affected area, flushing out debris, and prescribing antibiotics if infection is present. For patients who experience repeated flare-ups, wisdom tooth removal is often recommended to prevent future problems.
Our focus is always on comfort and reassurance, especially for nervous patients. With advanced techniques and a boutique practice environment, we ensure treatment is as stress-free as possible.
If you’re experiencing pain or swelling around your wisdom teeth, don’t wait for the problem to worsen. Early intervention provides rapid relief and protects your long-term oral health.
