A pregnant woman's wisdom tooth inflammation healed spontaneously after about 7 days. The cause of wisdom tooth inflammation is misalignment of the tooth, known as an impacted wisdom tooth. When food debris becomes trapped and is not cleaned promptly, it can lead to pericoronitis, resulting in pain, jaw swelling, and limited mouth opening. The area can be cleaned using mouthwash or warm salt water. If there is restricted mouth opening and facial swelling, severe discomfort may occur, and spontaneous healing becomes difficult. It is important to maintain good oral hygiene, brush teeth regularly, reduce sugar intake, and have routine dental checkups.
