How could i tell if pericoronitis has spread to the neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a periodontist: Pericoronitis is inflammation of the gum surrounding your tooth usually the lower back molar. If you mean periodontitis that is a generalized breakdown of gum and bone supporting the teeth. In any case there can be an infection in your gum which can spread to the lymph nodes in your neck. See a periodontist to treat your problem.
