A wisdom tooth infection occurs when bacteria invade the gum tissue around your third molars, the teeth that typically emerge in your late teens or early twenties. This painful condition develops because wisdom teeth often lack sufficient space to erupt properly, creating pockets where food particles and bacteria accumulate. The infection causes swelling, severe pain, and difficulty opening your mouth or swallowing.
You should seek immediate treatment if you experience throbbing pain near your back teeth, swollen or bleeding gums, bad breath that won't go away, or facial swelling. These symptoms indicate the infection may be spreading. Left untreated, wisdom tooth infections can lead to serious complications affecting your jaw, throat, and overall health.

Several clear symptoms indicate a wisdom tooth infection. Pain is often the first sign. It may start as mild discomfort and progress to severe, throbbing pain that can radiate to your jaw, ear, or neck. Swelling around the back of your mouth is common. You might notice your gums appear red and tender. Bad breath that persists despite brushing often accompanies infection. Some patients develop difficulty opening their mouth fully. Fever can occur in more serious cases. If you experience any combination of these symptoms, particularly persistent pain and swelling, it's important to seek professional assessment promptly. Early intervention prevents complications and provides faster relief.
Time matters with wisdom tooth infections. Mild symptoms warrant scheduling an appointment within a few days. However, certain signs require immediate attention. Severe pain that disrupts sleep or daily activities needs urgent care. Significant facial swelling, especially if it affects your ability to swallow, requires prompt treatment. Fever accompanying dental pain indicates the infection may be spreading. Difficulty opening your mouth or swallowing are serious warning signs. At London Dental Specialists, we understand dental emergencies don't follow convenient schedules. Our team prioritises urgent cases to prevent complications. Don't wait if symptoms worsen rapidly. Early treatment is always more comfortable and effective than delayed intervention.
Treatment depends on several factors. The severity of infection plays a crucial role. Early stage infections often respond well to antibiotics and thorough cleaning around the tooth. Professional cleaning removes bacteria and food debris that fuel infection. Antiseptic rinses help maintain cleanliness. Pain relief medications manage discomfort during healing. However, some situations require extraction. Severely damaged teeth cannot be saved. Repeated infections suggest ongoing problems. Insufficient space for proper cleaning leads to recurring issues. Our specialists at London Dental Specialists carefully evaluate each case. We explore conservative options first. When extraction becomes necessary, we ensure the process is as comfortable as possible. The goal is always preserving your oral health long term.
Treatment begins with thorough assessment. Our specialists examine the affected area carefully. Digital imaging helps us understand the extent of infection and tooth position. Pain relief is our immediate priority. Local anaesthesia ensures comfort during any procedures. For infections without extraction, we clean the area meticulously. This removes bacteria and debris causing problems. Antibiotics may be prescribed to fight remaining infection. We provide detailed aftercare instructions. Follow up appointments monitor healing progress. When extraction is needed, we use advanced techniques to minimise discomfort. Sedation options are available for anxious patients. Recovery guidance includes pain management and proper healing care. Our team remains available for any concerns during your recovery period.
Recovery varies based on treatment type and individual healing. Non surgical treatment typically shows improvement within days. Antibiotics begin working within 24 to 48 hours. Pain and swelling gradually decrease over a week. Extraction recovery takes longer but follows predictable stages. Initial discomfort peaks within the first few days. Most patients return to normal activities within a week. Complete healing of the extraction site takes several weeks. Factors affecting recovery include your overall health, age, and following aftercare instructions. Smoking significantly delays healing and should be avoided. Proper oral hygiene supports faster recovery. Our team provides comprehensive aftercare guidance. We schedule follow up visits to ensure healing progresses normally. Any concerns during recovery receive prompt attention from our specialists.
Antibiotics aren't always necessary for wisdom tooth problems. The decision depends on infection severity and spread. Localised infections often resolve with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene. Systemic signs like fever typically require antibiotic treatment. Swelling extending beyond the immediate tooth area suggests bacterial spread. Patients with compromised immune systems may need antibiotics as prevention. Our specialists assess each situation individually. When prescribed, completing the full antibiotic course is essential. Stopping early allows bacteria to return stronger. Some patients worry about antibiotic resistance. We prescribe them judiciously, only when clinically necessary. Alternative treatments are explored first when appropriate. The goal is effective treatment while preserving antibiotic effectiveness for future needs. Trust our clinical judgement regarding antibiotic necessity for your specific situation.
Prevention centres on excellent oral hygiene and regular monitoring. Wisdom teeth are difficult to clean thoroughly due to their position. Special attention is required. Use a soft bristled toothbrush to reach back areas gently. Angled brushes help access tight spaces. Flossing around wisdom teeth removes trapped food particles. Antiseptic mouthwash reduces bacterial buildup. Regular dental visits allow early problem detection. Professional cleaning removes plaque you cannot reach at home. Some patients benefit from prescription fluoride rinses. Avoiding hard foods that can damage partially erupted teeth helps. If wisdom teeth cannot be kept clean effectively, extraction might be recommended preventively. This eliminates future infection risk entirely. Our hygienists provide personalised cleaning techniques for your mouth. Prevention is always preferable to treatment. Investing in proper care now prevents painful problems later.
Wisdom tooth infections require immediate attention. Severe pain strikes suddenly. Swelling develops rapidly around the jaw and face, creating visible distortion that can affect your ability to open your mouth properly. You may experience difficulty swallowing or breathing—these are serious warning signs that demand urgent care. Fever often accompanies severe infections, indicating your body is fighting a significant bacterial invasion.
Seek emergency treatment immediately if you develop facial swelling that extends beyond the tooth area, persistent fever above 38°C, or any breathing difficulties. Severe, throbbing pain that prevents sleep or normal function also warrants urgent attention. Bad taste in your mouth, accompanied by pus discharge, suggests an active infection spreading.
At London Dental Specialists, we understand dental emergencies cannot wait. Our experienced team, led by Dr. Ope Sodeinde, provides immediate assessment and treatment for wisdom tooth infections. We offer effective pain management through local anaesthesia and sedation options for anxious patients. Our advanced diagnostic equipment ensures rapid, accurate evaluation of your condition.
