🌿 Mouth Matters with Dr. Sun 🌿
Pericoronitis is inflammation around a partially erupted tooth, most often a wisdom tooth, when food and bacteria get trapped under the gum flap. It can cause pain, swelling, bad breath, a bad taste, and sometimes trouble opening the mouth.
If you notice swelling, fever, pus, or difficulty swallowing, don’t wait — those can be signs that you need prompt dental care.
Healthy smiles start with early attention and gentle care. 💛
