How To Cure Pericoronitis Caused By Impacted Wisdom Tooth?
I have pericoronitis caused by impacted wisdom tooth. I have tried to clean the area and have brushed thoroughly, but swelling does not seem to be subsiding. I am 24, in good health, good oral hygeine (used to be a dental nurse) but I am 19 weeks pregnant. What can you advise?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have Pericoronitis and history of pregnancy also, dont worry you do Warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
Do chlorhexidine mouthwash twice daily.
Do Betadine gagle twice daily .
You can consult dentist for medication and opinion for treatment after deleivery.
for pain you can take One tablet Paracetamol once daily for temporary relief.
Hope this will help you.
