Dr. Guo Huijie
In the early stages of pericoronitis of wisdom teeth, patients generally experience a sensation of swelling and pain or discomfort at the affected site, although symptoms may initially be mild. As the condition progresses, pain may intensify during swallowing or chewing, and in severe cases, the pain may radiate to the head and face, which requires prompt attention. To confirm a diagnosis of pericoronitis, it is best to visit a reputable dental hospital for proper evaluation.
