Periostitis (“flux”) is an inflammation of the jawbone, which most often occurs due to infection from a diseased tooth.
The main causes of periostitis:
- untreated caries;
- pulpitis or periodontitis;
- infection of the root canals after poor-quality treatment;
- tooth or jaw injury;
- complicated eruption of a wisdom tooth;
- inflammation of the gums or periodontium.
Symptoms:
- severe toothache;
- swelling of the gums and cheeks;
- pain when biting;
- fever;
- the appearance of an abscess.
Treatment:
- Examination by a dentist and X-ray diagnostics.
- Creation of an outflow of pus:
– through the root canals of the tooth;
– or through a small incision in the gums. - Root canal treatment, if the tooth can be saved.
- Tooth extraction, if it cannot be restored.
According to indications, the doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics.
Important: you should not warm the cheek or take antibiotics yourself without consulting a doctor, as this can increase inflammation.
