The gums with tooth decay have a pustule of pus

Because many people often have the habit of eating sugar, coupled with not paying attention to brushing and rinsing their mouths, it will lead to tooth decay, tooth decay will make the gums inflamed, resulting in a large pus mass in the gums, which will cause bacterial infection, so it is recommended to actively go to the hospital for treatment at ordinary times, and when necessary, all the pus in it should be sucked out, so as to prevent aggravation.

Why do I keep getting pustules on my gums?

According to the editor, in daily life, the reason why there are repeated pustules on the gums is because the friends have a dental disease called "chronic apical periodontitis", which is caused by inflammation of the tissues around the apex of the teeth.

Analyzing the reasons, it is likely that the young men suffer from caries, dental trauma, dental deformity and other diseases that are not treated in time, which will lead to inflammation of the pulp, and then gradual necrosis.

Because in daily life, you have long been accustomed to using "toothache" to measure "dental disease", if the tooth is not painful, everyone thinks that the tooth disease is cured. In fact, the bacteria in the necrotic pulp are still multiplying, and the inflammation slowly spreads into the alveolar bone through the root canal and root tip. This causes the bone to become inflamed and suppurated, which can manifest itself as pus pockets on the gums.

Pus pockets on the gums usually appear to have a small amount of pus coming out, and the pus pockets are "sometimes large and sometimes small", and the pus is "sometimes absent". This is a chronic inflammation of the tooth that does not heal on its own and requires treatment.

How should pustules on the gums be treated?

Generally speaking, when you find that you have pus on the gums, you should go to the dental clinic for diagnosis and treatment in time.

Dental experts point out that in view of the patient's pustule on the gums, the dentist will generally treat the affected tooth thoroughly.By cleaning out the inflamed tooth nerve with a dental drill or pulling out with a pulp extraction needle, then carefully filing the root canal lumen with a root canal file, and then disinfecting the pulp cavity with anti-inflammatory drugs, so that the inside of the diseased tooth is clean and smooth, and finally the root canal and pulp cavity are filled, this method is called root canal treatment.

After root canal treatment, the inflammation is completely removed, and the bone around the root tip of the tooth slowly grows, and the pus on the gums and the pus-draining fistula are healed.

Patient asks: Can pus pockets on the gums burst on their own?

Experts point out that it is best for patients not to move blindly by themselves, let alone squeeze at will, so as to avoid bacterial infection of the wound after the pustule is punctured. It is recommended that the most appropriate way is to go to a regular dental medical institution and find a professional doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
