Treatment
Wisdom Tooth Infection
Fast relief for an infected or impacted wisdom tooth, clearing the infection and easing the pain.
A wisdom tooth infection happens when a back molar, often impacted or partly erupted, traps bacteria and becomes painful and swollen.
Your dentist clears the infection and relieves the pain, then recommends the best next step, which is often removing the wisdom tooth.
Treatment ends the pain and swelling, stops the infection from spreading, and addresses the wisdom tooth that caused it.
