"The tooth was causing pain because it was abscessed." An abscess is a collection of pus in some area of the body, usually accompanied by pain and inflammation.
An abscess is a very bad infection in the root which should be treated immediately. Most commonly cause by severe tooth decay, it can also be formed from gingivitis or when there is trauma to the tooth. Symptoms include fever, sensitivity, pain when chewing, redness and swelling or foul smelling breath. If not treated immediately, the infection can spread to the bone.
Yes. I had an abcessed tooth for about a year and I did not know it. My blood pressure was really weird during that time, as soon as I went on antibiotics and then had a root canal done, my blood pressure went back to normal. I also had a cousin who had a tooth abscessed and she did not know it. Well she died and they did an autopsy on her because they did not know her cause of death and they found pus in her heart cavity leading down from where the tooth was.
It means a swollen area between body tissue that has accumulated pus.
No, cold and flu are viral diseases. Tooth decay is caused by bacteria and the pus is a mixture of white blood cells from the immune system and those bacteria.
No Tell your dentist you might have an infection
Take a sip of mouthwash and swill it around the mouth. Press against the abscess with a sterile pad until the pus is released. Spit out and rinse with mouthwash. Once the pus has been released the pain should go away! Continue to the end of the antibiotic treatment. Revisit the dentist.
It's called an abscess.
yes, because having too many pus cells in the urine means you have a bladder infection which can be harmful to the baby and may lead to premature contraction if not treated right away.
If your lip piercing has abscessed, your first point of call should be a doctor. An abscessed piercing is a build up of pus and infected material which has been trapped under healed skin, and so it will need to be drained. Do not remove your jewellery unless you have spoken to a doctor and he has recommended it, because your piercing may not have abscessed. (It is very easy to assume that your piercing has abscessed when in fact it is just infected or healing in an unusual way.) You may wish to speak to your piercer also, unless you pierced yourself, which I would recommend against doing again.Speak to a doctorDo not remove the jewellery or attempt to drain it yourselfTalk to your piercer if you're unsure.
When a tooth's nerve tissue or pulp is damaged, it breaks down and bacteria begin to multiply within the pulp chamber. The bacteria and other decayed debris can cause an infection or abscessed tooth. An abscess is a pus-filled pocket that forms at the end of the roots of the tooth. An abscess occurs when the infection spreads all the way past the ends of the roots of the tooth.
Go to the emergency room! You have an abscessed tooth, it sounds like, and this can be very dangerous, as the nerve channels can conduct the infection to the brain, causing death. It is time to visit the ER. First wash out your mouth well with warm salted water to cleanse the abcess as much as possible. The doctor on staff will probably put you on a bout of antibiotics.
