Consequences of tooth extraction with inflammation

If you have symptoms such as gingivitis or apical periodontitis, you should not have your teeth extracted at this time, because the risk of tooth extraction at this time is relatively high, and it is easy for the inflammation to spread, especially it is easy to cause the wound surface to increase, which will lead to more serious complications. This is a terrifying thing, and it has a greater impact on human health. Therefore, you must not have your teeth extracted when there is inflammation.

Consequences of tooth extraction with inflammation

1) Extracting teeth when they are inflamed and painful: This may cause the inflammation to spread, especially when encountering difficult teeth to extract. The operation will take a long time and cause great trauma, which may cause serious complications. 2) Extracting teeth when the teeth are inflamed and painful: For patients with weak bodies and poor resistance, extracting teeth during the acute inflammation period may aggravate the condition. 3) Extracting a tooth when it is inflamed and painful: Inflammation will affect the effect of anesthesia. Just imagine how horrible it is to extract a tooth when the anesthetic is not completely anesthetized.

Toothache and inflammation are common in acute periodontitis, acute pulpitis, etc. These diseases should be treated with anti-inflammatory treatment first, and then decide whether extraction is necessary depending on the situation. If the condition can be cured or controlled, your doctor will try to save the tooth.

Things to note after tooth extraction

1. The gauze ball used to stop bleeding from the tooth extraction wound can usually be bitten for 30 to 45 minutes. Biting for too short a time is not conducive to stopping bleeding, and biting for too long a time can easily lead to infection.

2. Do not eat within 2 hours after tooth extraction. You can eat some liquid food such as milk and porridge within 2 hours. The food should not be too hot or too hard. Avoid smoking, drinking, and spicy food.

3. Do not brush your teeth on the day of tooth extraction to avoid damaging the wound. You can rinse your mouth with warm water or light salt water, and drink more fruit juice rich in VC to promote wound healing.

4. You cannot do strenuous exercise right after having a tooth extracted. You should rest appropriately, such as in a semi-reclining position. You cannot lie flat or take a hot bath immediately.

5. If there is saliva in your mouth after tooth extraction, you should swallow it normally and it is best not to spit within 4 days. As for chewing food, unless there are unexpected circumstances, you can usually chew on the side where the tooth was extracted in about a week.

6. If you feel pain after tooth extraction, you can use ice to relieve the pain. If it hurts a lot, you need to take painkillers. If the painkillers are ineffective, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up visit immediately.
