How to use medication for acute pericoronitis of wisdom teeth
Disease description:
Recently, I experienced loose teeth and easy bleeding, so I sought medical treatment. The doctor cleaned the surface of my teeth and performed scaling and root planing on the gum base. After that, the problems of tooth looseness and bleeding were resolved. However, later on, it turned into periodontitis. I would like to know what medications are recommended for treating periodontitis?

The medication for acute pericoronitis of wisdom teeth primarily focuses on anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and local treatments. For oral medications, cephalosporins and ornidazole are commonly prescribed, as these drugs can rapidly eliminate bacteria and effectively treat inflammation and relieve pain. For topical treatment, hydrogen peroxide and iodine glycerin are frequently used. Hydrogen peroxide is used to irrigate the affected area to kill surface bacteria, while iodine glycerin is applied directly to the site to further eradicate deeper bacteria and control inflammation. Additionally, mouthwashes such as compound borax solution or furacilin solution may be used to enhance oral hygiene and anti-inflammatory effects. All medications should be used under the guidance of a qualified physician.
