A member asked:
Having pericoronitis, new wisdom tooth is coming, no gum swelling only mild discomfort, on antibiotics, how long will it take to come out and heal?

Weeks: Keep area clean. Ask Dentist to show you how to clean under gum flap. Take antibiotics exactly as prescribed until all are taken. If discomfort worsens return to Dentist immediately.

Contact DDS: See your dentist to make sure the tooth is coming in correctly. A laser can be used to excise the tissue if needed.
