Symptoms Periostita
The symptoms of the periostite - inflammation of the jaws - well known to many children and adults: on the gums near the tooth with the dead pulp or the remaining root appears a sharply painful solid seal, rapidly increasing. Swelling, becoming more pronounced, passes on soft fabrics. Depending on the location of the sick tooth, the lip and the wing of the nose, cheek and lower eyelids are swept, the temperature rises, the person is tested. This disease is known in the people called Flux.
In most cases, the cause of sharp periostites is the spread of infection from the root channels of the teeth with the deceased pulp under the periosteum. This also rushes a large number of blood protection cells - leukocytes to combat microorganisms. During the decay of leukocytes, substances are distinguished, which in the place of their accumulation form a purulent mass. Pump and pecks the periosteum, causing inflammation in the surrounding tissues in the course of blood vessels. Therefore, the swelling of soft fabrics arises
Increases temperature, pain, indisposition is a response of the body for an infection. Moreover, general symptoms are most strongly expressed in adults, weaker - in children, elderly people and people who are weakened due to common diseases.
After 2-3 days, the mucous membrane of the gums above the abscess is thinned, the pain decreases, and after the insertion is stopped. At the same time, the formation of a protective layer of tissues is the formation of a protective layer, so after the elimination of the inflammatory hearth in this place, the thickening of the mucous membrane is preserved for a long time. If the patient does not apply to the doctor, then after a period of time, inflammation may arise here again.
So why in the deceased pulp tooth accumulates an infection that causes periostitis? It happens first of all for two reasons.
The first reason: The patient does not appeal to the doctor and struggles with pain with medication drugs. And when pulpitis is imaginary well-being. In fact, the pulp disintegrates, the resulting mass becomes a beautiful medium for habitat of microorganisms. And they, intensely multiply here, have a toxic effect on the whole organism.
The second reason: The patient appeals to a dentist's doctor, which imposes a drug killing nerve on the inflamed pulp, for example, arsenic, and then no more to the doctor goes. Under the influence of the arsenic pulp dies and pain stops. And in the root canals, in the meantime, the pulp breaks down, the microorganisms will deteriorate intensively in it, and this tooth becomes the source of infection in the body.
What should be patient with inflammation? Of course, immediately consult a doctor and fulfill all his appointments.
Treatment of periostita
The treatment of periostite is determined by the state of the tooth and the general state of the patient. In order to eliminate the purulent focus, it is necessary to open the abscess on the gum. But if the tooth (or the root of the tooth) must be removed, then the removal and incision is carried out at the same time. Patient is recommended to carefully monitor the purity of the oral cavity, avoid hypothermia or overheating, large physical exertion. If necessary, the doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapeutic procedures.
What is the prevention of periostites? Only in timely and to the end of the brought tooth treatment. And prevent the development of caries (the destruction of solid tissues of the tooth) and the pulp (pulp inflammation) is very simple. It is enough to regularly visit the dentist and maintain the right departure of the teeth and the oral cavity.
