Pericoronitis treatment refers to the management of inflammation and infection around a partially erupted wisdom tooth. It typically involves cleaning the affected area to remove trapped food and bacteria, rinsing with antiseptic solutions, and prescribing antibiotics or pain relief if infection or swelling is present. In some cases, minor surgery may be performed to remove gum tissue covering the tooth, or extraction of the wisdom tooth may be recommended if recurrent problems occur. The goal of treatment is to relieve pain, control infection, and prevent future episodes by addressing the underlying cause of the gum irritation.
