importance of medication:
infection prevention: pericoronitis is an inflammation of the gum tissue surrounding a partially erupted tooth, making it prone to infection. Antibiotics like augmentin 625 help prevent and control bacterial infections.

Hi
in many people, wisdom teeth don't break through the gum and grow out – or only part of them does. The reasons are multifactorial. This is more common in the lower jaw than it is in the upper jaw. The reason is usually that there isn't enough space for the tooth in the jaw.

It's completely understandable to be worried about this situation. Leaving cotton in for 5 days after a tooth extraction can increase the risk of complications, so it's important to address it right away.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Contact your dentist as soon as possible: this is the most important step. Don't try to remove the cotton yourself, as this could further irritate the extraction site. Your dentist will be able to remove it safely and assess the condition of the wound.
