Can oral hygiene habits help ease discomfort from an impacted wisdom tooth before treatment?
Maintaining gentle but consistent oral hygiene is helpful. Using a soft-bristled toothbrush, keeping the area clean, and rinsing gently with warm, salty water can reduce bacterial buildup and discomfort. Avoid harsh rinses or vigorous brushing around the impacted area to prevent irritation before you're assessed by your specialist.
