Any tips for managing the pain? I’ve seen a dentist today and she said it doesn’t need antibiotics as it’s not at that stage
and thinks I can cure it myself. She gave it a good clean with an “ultrasonic machine” and flushed it with a syringe full of corsodyl and the area is now quite tender after all that
I’ve been told to corsodyl and salt water rinses (unhelpful that I burnt it yesterday doing a hot salt water rinse too) and use corsodyl gel around and under the gum flap. She said the infection was really mild so that’s something but the post clean tenderness is quite intense! Any advice?
We went round the extraction debate and her very strong recommendation not to due to the position of the tooth vs the nerve and this is only the second bout of Pericoronitis in 3 years, neither needing antibiotics. I’d need more infections than that to have them refer me apparently.
