First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether injecting a steroid solution before removing impacted wisdom teeth can reduce pain, swelling, and jaw stiffness afterward. Twenty-five adults with similar wisdom teeth on both sides of their mouth received the steroid injection on one side and a standard numbing shot on the other. Researchers then compared pain scores and swelling over a week.
