When a person is having wisdom tooth infection, they would normally experience pain and swollen gums.
At times, when the wisdom tooth is not growing properly, it may cause trapping of bacteria around the area that may potentially spread to the throat area.
Rinising with mouthwash or salt water may sometimes help with minor cases.
Other times, wisdom tooth removal may be warranted to prevent more severe problems like teeth decay or jaw bone loss. The dentist will normally need clinical examination and radiograph before advising you on the complexity of the wisdom tooth removal, if it is needed.
