DID YOU KNOW?
Pericoronitis is an infection around the crown of an impacted tooth and usually occurs around partially impacted wisdom teeth. It can be very painful, causing swelling of cheek, gum and face and prevent normal chewing for several days. In teenagers, and twenty year olds this is the main reason we need to extract wisdom teeth.
