Pericoronitis can affect any erupting tooth, but most cases are due to impacted wisdom teeth. It’s most common in people in their late teens or early 20s because this is when the wisdom teeth generally erupt into the mouth. Diagnosis of pericoronitis is usually made by a dentist who performs an oral examination. It sometimes involves taking diagnostic X-rays to evaluate the un-erupted wisdom tooth. See a dentist immediately if you have pain or other symptoms of pericoronitis. Leaving pericoronitis untreated can lead to serious complications, such as the infection spreading to your jawbone.
