Treatment of tooth root infection
Severe toothache caused by tooth root infection is one of the most common toothaches among people. Tooth root infection has different symptoms that start with pain. One of these symptoms is tooth abscess.
A dental abscess is a collection of bacteria that accumulate inside the gums as an infection. If you want to know the complications of not treating tooth abscess and tooth root infection, it should be said that not treating tooth abscess causes the infection to spread to all parts of the body and cause dangerous complications in the body. Lack of oral hygiene causes plaque to accumulate on the teeth and eventually lead to infection. People are looking to treat tooth root infection at home, but you should know that this is not possible. The treatment of tooth root infection is the responsibility of a dental hygienist and using special dental equipment and materials. In the following, we will describe the surgical procedure for tooth root infection.
How many types of tooth root infection are there?
Tooth root infection appears as a swollen and pus-filled abscess. At this time, the person feels a throbbing pain in his tooth. This type of pain increases suddenly and over time and causes pain in the ear and neck area. The pain of tooth infection intensifies when chewing and biting. Tooth root infection can cause the following problems.
Gum abscess: Gum abscess, which causes gum pain and infection, forms on the gum and can be seen as swollen.
Periapical abscess: One of the causes of tooth root infection is an abscess that occurs at the end of the tooth root and bacteria enter the inner part of the tooth and the tooth pulp through the cavity.
Periodontal abscess: This type of purulent swelling appears next to the root of the tooth and on the gum, it spreads to the gum and bone tissue and causes gum disease.
How to treat tooth root infection
Root canal surgery: Root canal treatment is performed to eliminate tooth abscess in the root area. By creating a hole in the tooth, the neurosurgeon drains the bacteria from the tooth and, after disinfecting the tooth, fills the space with special dental materials.
Tooth apico: In this situation, root canal treatment for the tooth is not enough. In order to remove the infection by epico or removing the end of the root, the dentist removes the end of the root of the tooth, which contains infected and infected tissue, by surgically removing the gums.
Antibiotics: At this stage, the neurosurgeon prescribes the use of antibiotics in order to prevent the spread of infection and reduce it. The public considers this step as the so-called use of pus-drying pills for tooth infection.
