Question
Is gum pain at the back of a child’s teeth possibly due to the growth of wisdom teeth? How can it be treated quickly and effectively?
Answer
Hello, based on the description, gum pain at the back of a child’s teeth may not be ruled out as a result of wisdom teeth growth, which could be a symptom of pericoronitis. It is recommended to administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, such as oral macrolide antibiotics. At the same time, attention should be paid to a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods as well as extremely hot or cold foods. It is currently speculated that an internal infection may be caused by the wisdom teeth, and it is advisable to seek timely consultation with a regular hospital’s dental department for necessary examinations and X-ray imaging. After confirmation, appropriate anti-inflammatory treatment should be provided, and if necessary, the consideration of wisdom tooth extraction may be considered.
