What to do if the tooth root is festering

Many people often feel particularly uncomfortable due to oral diseases. For example, a small toothache can make a person want to bang his head against the wall, not to mention the suppuration and infection of the tooth root, which will affect normal eating. Even the persistent pain will bother us. When these serious diseases occur, we must pay attention to keeping a light diet and avoid eating spicy and greasy foods.

Gingival suppuration occurs in carious teeth, which is probably caused by chronic apical periodontitis following necrosis of the dental nerve. The pus formed in the apical area is discharged from the gums to form fistulas, and the affected teeth generally experience pain and discomfort when biting. Teeth affected by apical periodontitis need to be drilled open, the root canals cleaned, and then sealed with medicine to reduce inflammation, so that the inflammation in the apical area can gradually subside. The fistula opening can also be rinsed and medicine applied. Root canal filling can only be performed after the fistula stops emitting pus and there is no obvious exudation or odor from the cotton pads sealed in the root canal.

The condition has not improved and we need to continue changing the dressings and reducing inflammation. X-ray examination can determine whether it is caused by caries of the affected tooth. The abscess may also be of periodontal origin and requires periodontal treatment.

When swollen and painful gums occur, we should go to the hospital in time for regular examination and treatment. There are many reasons for swollen and painful gums and suppuration, so we should find the specific cause before we can carry out more accurate treatment. We cannot take medicine blindly. Blind use of medicine will sometimes not only aggravate the disease but also cause problems in other parts of the body.

Note: During the treatment, you should eat a light diet, avoid spicy food, and keep your mouth clean.

It is not advisable to squeeze out pus by yourself, mainly because of the infection problem. Piercing the skin can easily cause skin infection. Moreover, the needles or other tools you use will have bacteria attached to them. If they are not disinfected properly, bacteria may enter the affected skin and cause serious infection.
