What is flux and why is it dangerous. Flux on the upper and lower jaw: what is dangerous, what are the complications and consequences, and what will happen if the abscess bursts? Can flux cause a headache?
The main mechanism of development: hard enamel is destroyed in a diseased tooth, carious cavity, the process extends to the soft tissue inside the tooth - the pulp, at this stage the person feels severe pain due to irritation of nerve endings. Gradually, the pulp dies, the pain stops, but the inflammation grows and goes to the root, where pus accumulates. Its quantity increases, the purulent masses "look for a way out" and find the shortest one - under the periosteum (periosteum) of the jaw bones or, if you're lucky, break through the gum and form a natural drainage, a fistulous tract.
Flux Symptoms
- At first it hurts toothache, it intensifies with pressure on the aching tooth, it seems that it has clearly lengthened and it is impossible not to touch it, although the actual dimensions have not changed. Tactile deception occurs due to pathological (disease-related) nerve impulses at the tip of the tooth root.
- Then the edema increases, it captures the jaw, lip and cheek, the eye socket area - with the localization of the flux in upper jaw, and the neck area under the lower jaw, if the diseased tooth is located below.
- The acute form of the flux gives a strong swelling of the gums, in the chronic form, the jawbone thickens near the diseased tooth.
- Regional lymph nodes are enlarged, they can be painful, but always mobile.
- Perhaps the temperature will rise, signs of intoxication will appear - weakness, headaches, dry mouth.
- Important: if the swelling spreads down and goes to the chest or up to the nasolabial fold and nose, immediately go to the hospital, you need urgent treatment. Symptoms of flux in children and the elderly are less pronounced, but the consequences can be very severe, hence the importance of systemic prevention for these age groups.
Possible Flux Complications
The most unpleasant, fatal: the flux of the upper jaw is dangerous for the spread of pus to the intermuscular spaces (phlegmon of the face) and further, directly to the brain. A similar situation can occur if you simply squeeze out an abscess in the area of the nasolabial triangle (nose, upper lip, chin), so be careful with acne.
Flux located on the lower jaw can be complicated by purulent streaks in the spaces of the neck and mediastinum, where the heart, trachea, large vessels and nerve plexuses, esophagus. The outcome can also be fatal.
Flux treatment
Only surgery, rinses and painkillers give only a short effect and time to get to the dentist. Flux symptoms and treatment are associated with purulent inflammation, first of all, it is necessary to ensure drainage of the inflamed area of the bone, to give purulent masses an outlet. To do this, under local anesthesia, an incision is made along the gum, if necessary, the wound is deepened until the pus comes out, a drain is left - a thin latex strip so that the wound does not close ahead of time and the pus does not accumulate again in the area of inflammation.
The tooth is preserved with such treatment, but after 2-3 weeks after surgical treatment resection of the root apex. If it is not possible to leave the tooth, then it is removed, then the gum is cut and the remnants of pus are removed, the wound is always drained.
Immediately after the intervention, the edema may increase, but within three days it will begin to subside. Compaction (inflammatory infiltrate) can persist for a long time, up to several weeks.
Flux treatment in children takes place in accordance with the same principles, milk teeth are removed only according to strict indications. Dentists believe that further leads to malocclusion.
The second stage is therapy, it is necessary to prescribe antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-intoxication agents. Then - physiotherapy, to improve wound healing and reduce infiltration, and vitamins as a general tonic.
What should never be done if a flux appears
- You can not use a heating pad or put a compress. Microbes multiply faster in heat, more pus will form, the flux will increase, or the pus will spread beyond the bone.
- You can not thoughtlessly "eat" antibiotics, some can cause allergies or not affect the microorganisms that cause inflammation at all.
- Aspirin as a pain reliever should not be taken either before or after surgery - it can increase or provoke bleeding.
- Important: do not tolerate pain! If it has not decreased within 10-12 hours after the operation, and the temperature has risen, be sure to contact the surgeon, it may be necessary to correct the prescribed treatment.
Prevention
Look at the photo of the symptoms of the flux and its complications: imagine that all this is happening to you or your child. It is customary to neglect prevention, because everything is so simple, you don’t even believe in the special effectiveness of elementary rules. Nobody canceled the law of the transition of quantity into quality; repeated repetition of directed actions will necessarily lead to a logical result. The question is - what result, besides the flux, can be expected if you do not monitor the condition of the teeth? And if you follow, then how? The answer will fit in three points:
- twice a day for at least one and a half minutes, morning and evening, with a soft brush and paste.
- Have eaten - use rinse aid or plain water to remove any remaining food particles. Chewing gum does not help, advertising slightly exaggerates its properties.
- Come to the dentist twice a year for a checkup and periodically, microbes accumulate under it.
Flux symptoms occur due to advanced caries or poor oral hygiene. In medicine, this disease is called inflammatory process in the periosteum of the gums, accompanied by suppuration and severe swelling of the cheek. Often, patients, faced with a toothache, postpone a visit to the dentist until the last. It is important to remember that it is impossible to get rid of the flux at home. Self-medication can only lead to aggravation of symptoms and the appearance of complications. Only a specialist can carry out the rehabilitation of a purulent-inflammatory focus.
What is flux?
Bacteria enter the area of the tooth root. Most often this is observed with a neglected form of caries. The reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms provokes inflammation, in which pus is formed. Exudate accumulates in the gum area above the diseased tooth and tends to come out. However, the periosteum prevents the breakthrough of the abscess. As a result, a person has symptoms of dental flux: and cheeks, accompanied by bursting pain.
Periostitis can occur in acute and chronic form. In the first case clinical picture the disease is pronounced, pain and swelling increase rapidly. In the chronic form of flux, signs and symptoms of pathology develop slowly. There are periods of remission, when the patient is not disturbed by the unpleasant manifestations of the disease. An exacerbation occurs after hypothermia or a drop in immunity.
Causes of pathology
Symptoms of cheek flux are most often due to caries. Tooth enamel is destroyed, and bacteria penetrate the pulp. There is inflammation of the root of the tooth - pulpitis. It is accompanied acute pain. If a visit to the dentist is postponed, then the disease progresses. Inflammation spreads from the pulp to the periosteum. An abscess forms, the gums and cheeks swell. The risk of flux increases if the pulpitis was complicated by a tooth root cyst.
In addition to caries, periostitis can lead to the following pathologies:
- Injuries to the gums and jaw. In this case, the infection enters the periosteum through the wound.
- Diseases of the throat and mouth. Bacteria can enter the periosteum from nearby tissues through the blood and lymph. Flux often appears with angina, respiratory diseases, gingivitis, periodontitis, stomatitis. If the patient has advanced caries, then a cold can provoke periostitis.
In some cases, the symptoms of flux on the gums occur due to poor-quality treatment of pulpitis. If the treatment of root canals with their subsequent filling was carried out in violation of the rules, then soon the patient's cheek and gums swell.
Symptoms of acute periostitis
How does a flux start? Symptoms of inflammation of the periosteum are usually preceded by many days of toothache. Shortly before the onset of suppuration and edema, discomfort in the causative tooth decreases. However, this is a temporary and deceptive improvement. Soon, a person's gums swell and redden in the area of \u200b\u200bthe diseased tooth. Then the swelling spreads to the cheek, because of this, the face becomes asymmetrical. It becomes difficult for a person to open his mouth and eat. Photos of the symptoms of flux can be seen below.
The pain in the causative tooth returns. It acquires a spilled character, radiating to the cheek and chin. Due to the inability to exit the exudate, there is a feeling of pulsation in the gums. The swollen cheek becomes hot to the touch. General well-being worsens, weakness and malaise appear. Body temperature rises to +38 degrees. If the inflammatory process is localized in the area mandible possible enlargement of the lymph nodes.
Clinical picture of chronic periostitis
In chronic periostitis, the symptoms and treatment of flux on the gums are somewhat different. This disease develops over a long period - several months, and sometimes even years. Its symptoms are less pronounced than in the acute form of the disease.
In chronic periostitis, remissions alternate with exacerbations. During periods of calm of the disease, the patient does not experience any discomfort. Under the influence of various provoking factors (hypothermia, colds, decreased immunity), the pathology worsens. There are symptoms of flux: swelling of the gums and cheeks, pain in the area of the affected tooth. However, they proceed more easily than in the acute form. The cheek swelling is less pronounced, but there is a thickening of the jaw in the area of the diseased tooth. The state of health is not significantly disturbed, the body temperature remains normal.
Periostitis in children
Above were listed the symptoms of flux on the gums in adults. However, periostitis can also occur in childhood when the child has not yet formed permanent teeth. The causes of the disease are the same as in an adult. Is it caries of the milk or permanent teeth, poor oral care, stomatitis and gingivitis, which children often suffer from.
The first symptom of a flux in a child is pain in the region of the causative tooth and gums. It can be very intense. Babies often cry, become moody and restless, stop eating. If the inflammation is localized on the upper jaw, then swelling of the cheek, lower eyelid and parotid region appears. If the diseased tooth is located on the lower jaw, then there is swelling of the cheeks and chin, as well as an increase in lymph nodes. In severe cases, swelling extends to the neck.
Every parent needs to know about the symptoms and treatment of flux in children. When the first signs of the disease appear, you should immediately show the child pediatric dentist. In no case should this disease be launched. If the flux arose as a result of caries of milk teeth, then adentia can become a consequence of periostitis. This pathology is manifested in the fact that the child does not form permanent teeth, and in the future prosthetics may be required.
Complications
With symptoms of flux, a person needs emergency dental care. Treatment of periostitis is urgent. Purulent inflammation in the periosteum can cause the following dangerous complications:
- Abscess. Suppuration can go beyond the periosteum. Inflammation becomes diffuse. In this case, the abscess often erupts on its own. A fistula forms on the gum. After the pus comes out, the person feels relieved, but this does not mean that the disease has receded. In the future, abscesses with fistulas constantly recur, and the pathology becomes chronic.
- Phlegmon. This purulent It occurs if the infection from the periosteum penetrates into the soft tissues of the face. This is a very dangerous complication that can lead to sepsis.
- Infection in the brain. This is one of the most dangerous complications with flux of the upper jaw. It can cause death.
- Penetration of infection into the neck and mediastinum. This complication occurs when the flux of the lower jaw. Pus can get into the trachea, heart or esophagus, which often leads to the death of the patient.
- Loss of a tooth. In advanced cases, it must be removed.
In addition, bacteria from a purulent focus can spread throughout the body with the bloodstream. The result of this are inflammatory processes in various organs.
Diagnostics
The dentist is responsible for identifying the symptoms and treating the flux. The diagnosis is made on the basis of examination of the oral cavity and complaints of the patient. Usually the definition of the disease is not difficult. However, the flux in its manifestations may resemble other diseases: a tooth cyst, phlegmon, chronic periodontitis. If necessary, carry out differential diagnosis then an x-ray is ordered.
In order to determine the degree of inflammation, do general analysis blood. With periostitis, this study shows an increase in the number of leukocytes and ESR.
Often, patients, having discovered the symptoms of flux, try to self-medicate. Under no circumstances should this be done. Periostitis is a complex disease that cannot be cured with folk remedies. Rinsing with decoctions medicinal herbs unable to take off purulent inflammation periosteum.
Flux therapy should only be carried out in a dental clinic. Trying to get rid of pain and swelling at home, patients often commit wrong actions which only exacerbate the situation.
It is important to remember that with periostitis it is categorically contraindicated:
- Apply heat to the cheek on the side of the affected tooth. This can lead to the spread of the purulent-inflammatory process to nearby tissues.
- Take antibiotics without a doctor's prescription. With prolonged use, antibacterial drugs reduce immunity, which is necessary to fight infection.
- Take painkillers before visiting the dentist. The use of such drugs can blur the clinical picture of the disease, and it will be difficult for the doctor to identify signs of pathology. If the pain becomes unbearable, then you can take an analgesic, but not less than 3 hours before visiting the dentist.
- Use Aspirin. This remedy should not be taken before or after visiting a doctor. Treatment of periostitis is carried out surgically, the abscess has to be opened. Aspirin can cause increased bleeding during dental surgery.
The appearance of symptoms of flux should be a signal for immediate treatment to the dentist. Only a specialist can conduct a competent treatment of periostitis.
Surgery
Treatment of periostitis is carried out only surgically. The resulting abscess in the gums must be opened as soon as possible. Surgery consists of several stages:
- A local anesthetic is injected into the gum to relieve pain.
- An incision is made with a scalpel in the area of the sac with pus. If necessary, the periosteum is also opened. The depth of the incision depends on the extent of the lesion.
- The exudate is released through the incision. The inflamed cavity is washed with antiseptics.
- If the causative tooth is not subject to conservative treatment, then it is removed.
- A tube (drainage) is inserted into the incision to drain the exudate.
- After a few days, the drainage is removed. The incision usually heals on its own. If necessary, stitches are applied to the postoperative wound.
It is important to remember that the symptoms of flux do not disappear immediately after opening the abscess. In the first time after the operation, even a slight increase in edema may be noted. This natural reaction tissues for an anesthetic injection and for a gum incision. Already after 1 - 2 days, the swelling of the cheeks will begin to decrease, and then completely disappear.
However, if after opening the abscess, the patient has pain for 10-12 hours, then it is necessary to contact the attending dentist. It is possible that a correction of therapy is required.
Conservative treatment
Immediately after opening the gums, the patient is prescribed a course of antibiotics: Amoxiclava, Lincomycin, Cifran, Ampiox, Doxycycline, Tsiprolet. They possess a wide range action and are capable of inhibiting the growth of many bacteria. The doctor selects the doses of drugs individually. To prevent an allergic reaction, antihistamine drugs are simultaneously prescribed: Cetirizine, Claritin.
For the first time after the incision of the gums, the patient may be disturbed by pain. To reduce discomfort, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used: Nise, Ketanov, Nimesil.
After surgery, it is very important to maintain oral hygiene. This will help prevent infection of the incision. Dentists recommend regular rinsing with a decoction of chamomile, oak bark or a composition with "Hydrogen Peroxide".
Forecast
If the flux proceeds without complications, and the treatment was carried out on early stage, the prognosis of the disease is favorable. After opening the abscess and carrying out antibiotic therapy swelling subsides, and complete recovery occurs. In most cases, the tooth can be saved.
If the patient delays the visit to the doctor, then the prognosis is complicated. Often it is necessary to remove the causative tooth and carry out prosthetics. Treatment of the inflammatory-purulent process with antibiotics can be lengthy.
With phlegmon, the prognosis becomes very serious. This complication is fraught with blood poisoning. Urgent hospitalization required maxillofacial surgery. The purulent focus is opened with the installation of drainage. In this case, it is often necessary to make an incision with outside cheeks, which may leave a scar.
With the penetration of bacteria into the brain and the mediastinal region, the prognosis becomes unfavorable. The infection can affect the life important organs and lead to death.
Prevention
How to avoid the occurrence of periostitis? Main measure flux prevention is timely treatment caries. You should contact your dentist as soon as you have a toothache. You should also regularly preventive examinations oral cavity. In most cases, flux is a complication of advanced caries.
It is also important to remove tartar in a timely manner. Such deposits are favorable environment for the reproduction of bacteria and contribute to the appearance of pulpitis and periostitis.
Take good care of your teeth and oral cavity. People prone to caries need to avoid hypothermia and strengthen the immune system. This will help minimize the risk of flux.
(odontogenic periostitis) - acute inflammation periosteal part of the upper / lower jaw, arising from the untimely treatment of other dental diseases. What is the danger of flux, and how to treat the disease, we learn from the article.
Causes
Progressive caries is the main cause of flux. Other triggering factors include:
- pulpitis, periodontitis, periodontitis;
- foci of infection with tonsillitis or furunculosis;
- soft tissue damage with bone inflammation and hematoma formation;
- infection during tooth extraction or in cases where, after removal, a piece of the root remains in the hole.
Symptoms
- swelling of the cheeks, lips, infraorbital region or chin;
- swelling of the mucous and soft tissues;
- purulent abscess on the gum;
- severe throbbing pain;
- temperature increase;
- weakness.
Complications
Launched flux causes life-threatening complications:
- phlegmon - purulent inflammation that spreads to the neck and mediastinum (region of the heart);
- osteomyelitis of the jaw with the formation of necrosis;
- expanded abscess;
- blood poisoning.
Treatment
Flux treatment is carried out in a complex manner. If symptoms of flux appear, contact your dentist immediately. The doctor will decide on the preparation / removal of the carious tooth and select an individual treatment regimen.
Surgery
The early stage of the flux (without an abscess) is treated with medication. When an abscess forms, surgical opening is necessary. Under local anesthesia the abscess is cut. For a better outflow of pus and to prevent wound closure, drainage is installed.
Medical treatment
After opening are appointed:
- antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, lincomycin, ampioks);
- anti-inflammatory drugs (nimesil);
- analgesics for pain relief (ketanov);
- antihistamines to reduce swelling and inflammation (diazolin, suprastin, tavegil).
Local treatment:
- rinsing with a solution of soda (a teaspoon per glass of water) every 2 hours;
- rinsing with antiseptics (chlorhexidine, malavit, stomatophyte).
Physiotherapy procedures:
- electromagnetic therapy (UHF);
- ultrasound therapy (UVR);
- electrophoresis.
Electrophoresis is carried out with drugs:
- analgesics - for pain relief;
- enzymes - for splitting and removing pus;
- calcium - to restore bone tissue.
Contraindications to physiotherapy:
- pregnancy;
- the presence of a pacemaker;
- low pressure;
- endocrine diseases.
At home, the flux cannot be cured! Self-medication temporarily relieves the condition, then a new abscess forms.
Compliance with oral hygiene, timely treatment of caries and regular visits to the dentist will prevent the development of dangerous inflammation.
None of the diseases that exist in the world ever go away on their own. If it seems that relief has finally come, and the disease passes without proper treatment and visits to a specialist, most often this feeling is false. Flux is just such a disease.

Flux is an inflammatory process inside the gums, which is essentially an abscess. Another name for this acute condition- odontogenic periostitis. Pus accumulates over the diseased tooth in one place, the periosteum prevents it from coming out.
If the flux is not opened in time, then the purulent exudate will spill inside the tissues. This condition is called phlegmon, it is deadly, as the infection can enter the bloodstream.
Due to periostitis, you can be left without a tooth from which it went infection, in the worst case, it leads to death. The longer the patient delays going to the dentist, the larger the affected area.
There are several types of periostitis. The acute form is characterized by rapid development - 2-3 days. Swelling of the gums and nearby soft tissues is noticeable.
The pain is almost continuous, usually radiating to the temple or eye. For acute form the temperature rises to 38 degrees Celsius in the order of things. Purulent flux causes extensive swelling, the eye swims from the side of the affected tooth, if it is in the upper jaw. If the diseased tooth is at the bottom, the cervical lymph nodes become inflamed.
In the chronic form of periostitis, inflammation develops more slowly. Seal in the periosteum is formed over a long time, this process can stretch for several years. Chronic flux is more common in the lower jaw. Periods of remissions are possible, they alternate with periods of acute pain.
Important! For any form of periostitis, you should immediately consult a doctor who treats the flux. Both conditions are very dangerous to health and even life.
It happens that the flux occurs after the treatment of the tooth. It should pass in a couple of days, but if the swelling does not subside, you need to contact your dentist again.
Causes of the disease
Most often, the flux occurs due to untreated caries in time. When the enamel is completely destroyed, it penetrates the pulp and causes pulpitis. The tooth is completely destroyed, the pain subsides for a while. Inflammation begins to develop imperceptibly for a person. When it finally gets to the root of the tooth, the pain returns as purulent discharge trying to find a way out, which is impossible because of the periosteum.
- Another common cause of periostitis is inflammatory and infectious diseases oral cavity, angina.
- Sometimes a flux is a consequence of a mechanical injury to the gums or jaw, for example, a blow.
- Periostitis appears due to improper treatment. For example, an illiterately done anesthesia, a temporary filling with arsenic was not changed to a permanent one on time.
Flux can occur in any situation where bacteria can get into the space between the gum and the tooth.
Since the flux is the same abscess, however, located in the oral cavity, the symptoms are similar to those of any abscess.
- First of all, with a flux, swelling appears, the gum next to the diseased tooth swells and turns red.
- The pain in the gum itself is throbbing, almost incessant.
- Depending on the form of the disease, the lymph nodes can become inflamed.
- An increase in temperature is a common occurrence for periostitis.
The diseased tooth itself, which caused the flux, hurts from hot and cold, from any touch.
Important! If any of these symptoms appear, you should contact your dentist as soon as possible.
Periostitis is an extremely dangerous disease. It depends on how quickly treatment begins, whether it will be possible to save teeth and health in general.
A specialist in periostitis is a dentist. The question of which doctor to contact should not arise. Depending on the degree of neglect of the flux, there are two ways of treatment:
- If it is possible to save the tooth, an incision is made over it to release the pus. Then the places affected by caries are healed, the root canals are opened so that the remnants of the exudate can come out without obstacles. For the same purpose, they put drainage - a piece of rubber tube. When the inflammation is finally removed, after a couple of weeks, the top of the root is removed.
- If the tooth cannot be saved, it is simply removed, and then an incision is made in the gum. Temporarily install drainage.
Important! There are no other methods to really cure the flux. There are remedies that can temporarily relieve symptoms and hold out until the moment when it becomes possible to consult a specialist.
Treatment at home
Home treatment of flux will help relieve symptoms, but will not cure the tooth. Therefore, if it is impossible to be in the dentist's chair in the near future, you can try the following methods.
First, you can apply a cooling compress to the inflamed area. A small ice cube will do for this purpose, but you should wrap it in a cloth. For removal pain syndrome There are a number of effective analgesics, such as paracetamol or analgin.
- The mouth should be rinsed with a solution of chlorhexidine, which has disinfectant properties.
- You can prepare a rinse solution based on soda or salt. To prepare it, you need 1-2 teaspoons of the substance in a glass of warm water.
- On the edema itself, it is advised to apply compresses based on Vishnevsky or Levomekol ointment.
Vishnevsky's balm, despite its repulsive appearance and smell, perfectly disinfects and collects pus. For a compress, it is enough to apply the balm on a cotton pad and apply it to the inflammation site for a couple of hours.
Folk methods with flux
There is a mass folk remedies that help to quickly treat the flux at home, reduce the focus of inflammation, although they should be used with caution. Some of them harm rather than help.
Sage
Sage - useful plant, on the basis of which you can prepare an infusion for rinsing your mouth. This remedy has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. For infusion, you need a teaspoon of herbs in a glass of boiling water, leave for several hours.
Melissa
In addition to sage, you can make a decoction based on lemon balm and green tea. The method of preparation is almost the same, to be sure, you can boil the potion for ten minutes.
Garlic
You can apply a garlic compress to the swelling. It is enough just to grind 1-2 slices and apply to the flux with a cotton pad.
Calendula
It is not bad to rinse your mouth with infusion of calendula. A couple of tablespoons of dried flowers of the plant should be poured with two glasses of boiling water and insisted for about an hour.
All herbal infusions and strain the decoctions thoroughly before use.
Important! No one folk method will not cure the cause of periostitis.
What not to do with flux
Many people are so afraid to go to the dentist that they use completely unjustified, and often completely dangerous means treatment. Here is what in no case should be done with periostitis:
- Flux cannot be heated. An increase in temperature only provokes further reproduction of bacteria and worsens the situation.
- Bandages cannot be made. An exception may be made by a doctor.
Antibiotics for flux should be used only with the permission of a doctor. Many of them are selected after examination and analysis, otherwise they will not help or harm.
Usually they are prescribed after surgery, they eliminate the remnants of the infection and help prevent the recurrence of periostitis. Their use is not always necessary.
If suddenly the abscess burst, this does not mean that the tooth has recovered. harmful bacteria remain in the oral cavity, the exudate itself does not come out completely. With a burst flux, you should be at the dentist as soon as possible. At home, you can rinse your mouth with baking soda and salt or chlorhexidine.
Flux in a child represents great danger, even if struck baby tooth. Previously, they were always removed when there were signs of a severe infection, but now it is believed that torn milk teeth interfere with the formation correct bite. Now they try to save any tooth, remove it in exceptional cases.
Important! Children are always prescribed physical therapy and a course of antibiotics after opening the abscess.

Treatment of flux (dental abscess)
The only way to completely get rid of the flux is to be treated by a dentist with special procedures and, in some cases, surgical operation(see below). However, until you get to the dentist, there are some steps you can take on your own or see a doctor. general practice, which will give you recommendations on how to relieve pain or temporarily improve the condition.
Is it possible to treat flux at home?
To relieve the symptoms of flux, follow these tips:
- avoid anything that can make the pain worse, such as hot or cold foods or cold air;
- sometimes pain can be relieved by compresses with cold water or crushed ice;
- the pain is often aggravated by lying down, so it can be relieved by lying with a slight rise;
- try to chew with your teeth on the other side of your mouth, eat warm and soft foods;
- use soft toothbrush and clean the interdental spaces with dental floss next to the aching tooth.
Over-the-counter pain relievers can help relieve pain. The most preferred in this case will be ibuprofen. However, if there is medical contraindications paracetamol can be taken to receive non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, to the group of which it belongs. For severe pain, taking paracetamol and ibuprofen at the same time may help. It is safe for adults, but not for children under 16.
Wait at least 6 hours before taking the next tablet. Also, always read the instructions for the drug before using it. People who have tried to relieve the pain of a dental abscess and have taken too many painkillers have experienced unintentional overdoses. Follow these guidelines for taking painkillers safely:
- do not take ibuprofen bronchial asthma or stomach ulcers, or if you have had them in the past;
- do not take more than one pain reliever without first consulting your doctor; this can be dangerous, as many over-the-counter medicines contain the same painkillers, and overdose is possible when they are combined;
- both ibuprofen and paracetamol are also sold in liquid form for children;
- do not give aspirin to children under 16;
- if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take paracetamol.
Painkillers and home remedies for flux cannot cure a dental abscess, so they should not be used to avoid a visit to the doctor or delay dental treatment.
In order to cure the flux, it is necessary to open the abscess and remove the pus containing bacteria. This manipulation is performed under local anesthesia. This means that you will be conscious, but you will not feel pain in the operated area, or it will be insignificant.
If an abscess has formed inside the tooth (periapical abscess), root canal treatment is usually recommended. In this case, a hole is drilled in the diseased tooth to release pus, and the pulp is removed, and a filling is placed in its place to prevent inflammation in the future. Severe flux may require surgery.
In some cases, even after full treatment flux can develop again. If this happens or the tooth is significantly damaged, it can be removed completely.
Flux antibiotics
Antibiotics are not usually prescribed to treat a dental abscess because the following reasons:
- pumping out pus from an abscess more efficiently;
- if antibiotics are taken to treat mild diseases, they become less effective in treating more severe diseases (this is called antibiotic resistance).
Usually antibiotics are needed only in the following cases:
- there are signs of infection spreading, such as swelling of the face or neck;
- weakened immunity.
If antibiotics are required, amoxicillin or phenoxymethylpenicillin is usually recommended. If you are allergic to penicillin, your doctor may prescribe clarithromycin, metronidazole, or clindamycin as an alternative.

- Acute toothache when pressing on the diseased tooth.
- Swelling of the tissues around the diseased tooth, swelling of the cheek.
- The appearance of puffiness in the area of the eye (with the appearance of an abscess on the upper jaw), signs of otitis media can also be noted.
- When a flux occurs on the lower jaw, sore throats, inflammation of the lymph nodes are noted.
- The temperature rises to 38 degrees.
The inflammation of the jaw begins with a noticeable increase in the size of the gums near the diseased tooth. All this is accompanied by unpleasant sensations, pain. If timely treatment is not started, the disease progresses, and after 2-3 days an abscess appears under the periosteum - a cavity that is filled with pus. Dental flux in the upper jaw appears much faster than in the lower.
If swelling appears in the cheek area, you should not neglect going to the doctor, as the development of the disease can lead to the occurrence of phlegmon. With such a course of the disease, there can be the most serious consequences.
What not to do when an anguish appears
If such a nuisance nevertheless happened, then in no case should you do the following:
- The place of anguish cannot be heated. If you apply a warm compress, then the sore spot will calm down, but the heat will serve to the rapid development of the infectious and inflammatory process, which will aggravate the picture.
- Can't be accepted medicines, especially antibiotics, without consulting a doctor.
- You can't make overlays. They do not carry any benefit and have no therapeutic effect.
- Do not take painkillers before seeing a doctor, at least three hours.
- When the incision is made, you can not take Aspirin. It thins the blood, which can lead to severe bleeding.
- You cannot self-medicate.
- If there is no improvement, you should consult a doctor again.
Very often, the flux occurs against the background of a diseased tooth and is a complication of caries. But it cannot be ruled out mechanical damage, even hypothermia can lead to the appearance of an abscess. A prerequisite for the occurrence of flux is an introduced infection.
Delaying treatment gives germs fertile ground to spread throughout the mouth. They gradually begin to destroy the pulp, corrode it, gradually approaching the periosteum. In case of untimely removal of temporary fillings with arsenic, pulp destruction may also occur.
Flux can even be life-threatening. Do not hesitate to go to the doctor, even with the slightest problems with your teeth. Teeth are the first indicator of human health.
Thus are created favorable conditions for flux to appear. The most common cause of flux is also the appearance of a cyst.
What is a dental cyst and how to treat it
A cyst is a cavity inside human body filled with liquid. If this type of disease occurs, you should immediately visit dental office. After all, the lingering current this disease can lead to tooth loss.
There are two ways to treat a cyst:
- therapeutic;
- surgical.
Conservative treatment performed only in cases where the cyst does not exceed 8 mm. Treatment is carried out with the help of disinfectants. After that, the dental canal is cleaned and sealed. If necessary, the doctor prescribes antibiotics. However, they should not be prescribed on their own, since their intake will not completely eliminate the cyst.
In most cases, the cyst is removed surgically. This indicates a late diagnosis of this disease. Not so long ago, saving a tooth during a cyst removal was not possible. Currently, the goal of doctors is to preserve the tooth, and its extraction is performed in extreme cases.
There are several types of operations:
- Cystectomy - This method aims to remove the cyst and part of the tooth under the gum. As a treatment after the operation, antibiotics and disinfectants for rinsing are prescribed. The tooth is being filled. This method is applied to teeth with a single root. But a tooth with several roots is removed.
- Cystotomy - at this method treatment, a long recovery period, since during the manipulation the anterior wall of the formation is removed.
- Hemisection - in this case, the surgeon removes the neoplasm, root, part of the surface of the tooth.
It is worth noting that there is a way to remove the cyst using laser surgery. The operation is quick and completely painless. The laser also disinfects the space under the tooth, which prevents the development of pathogenic bacteria. There are almost no consequences after such treatment, and the wound from laser exposure heals very quickly.
A cyst does not appear from scratch, and its appearance is due to several reasons:
- The presence of untreated caries.
- The presence of chronic periodontitis.
- In some cases, the appearance of a cyst provokes the onset of sinusitis.
- Trauma during dental treatment.
A tooth cyst can lead to tooth loss. This is due to the late diagnosis of the disease. If the following signs appear, you should immediately visit the dentist's office:
- The appearance of swelling of the gums.
- Pain while eating.
- Pain in the oral cavity.
- As a result of the disease, a flux or fistula is formed.
If you do not deal with this problem, the disease will develop and appear the following symptoms: weakness, temperature, swollen lymph nodes.
A cyst is a rather serious disease that can lead to negative consequences. Therefore, at the slightest discomfort in the oral cavity, it is strongly recommended to visit the dental office.
convalescence period
After all dental procedures have been carried out, one should not expect instant recovery and resorption of edema. It will last a few more days, and after treatment it may even increase in size. The pain should subside, and the temperature should drop to normal after a certain time.
Drainage is placed over the incision to prevent food and infection from getting in. It does not need to be touched, but if it falls out, you should immediately contact your dentist.
Preventive measures will help prevent the appearance and complications of flux. Do not forget about regular trips to the dentist. Checking for caries and removing tartar can help prevent flux. These procedures should be carried out every six months.
It is worth remembering the regular observance of hygiene standards. To brush your teeth, you should use only soft-bristled brushes, and toothpastes should contain fluoride. Rinsing should be done after every meal. To prevent dental problems, it is worth increasing the amount of vegetables and fruits in the diet.

Flux: basic concepts and features
The two concepts of flux and periostitis carry the same meaning, but only the first word is most often used in colloquial speech, and the second is more official and is present in the scientific literature. Inflammation of the periosteum (envelops the bone and consists of connective tissue) can be localized in two places:
- lower jaw;
- upper jaw.
Depending on the nature of the course, periostitis is purulent and acute. It usually begins on the periosteum, after which it rushes inward.
Causes
The etiology of the flux is most often based on neglected dental problems or poor quality medical services in this domain. main reason disease is progressive caries. Other contributing factors can also be identified:
- periodontitis;
- periodontitis;
- pulpitis;
- angina;
- furunculosis;
- damage to soft tissues with further infection;
- tooth extraction with infection;
- sexually transmitted diseases (syphilis);
- influence allergic reactions etc.
Symptoms
The clinical severity of the flux may vary slightly depending on which jaw is affected. So here are the symptoms:
- Upper jaw:
- pain in the cheek area, localized on one side;
- increase in body temperature;
- thickening and swelling of the gums;
- pain in area upper teeth, in also in the temples;
- change in the contours of the face;
- discharge of pus from the gums.
- Lower jaw:
- swelling of the lower lip;
- swelling of the chin;
- weakness;
- refusal to eat and talk;
- increased pain in the affected tooth;
- enlarged lymph nodes;
- symptoms of intoxication.
Such signs are the reason for an urgent visit to the doctor. IN medical institution examination will be carried out, diagnostics will be carried out and appropriate treatment will be prescribed.
What is dangerous disease
Any disease with untimely diagnosis and treatment that has not been started is fraught with various complications. It is no secret that purulent contents in the oral cavity are an ideal condition for the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria. A long-lasting lesion with a predominantly purulent fusion entails further problems. The most common and most harmless consequence is tooth loss. In addition, there are other complications of flux, the occurrence of which can threaten human life and health.
This common complication, which leads to the inflammatory process. An abscess is a cavity made up of thick fabric and purulent contents. At the beginning of the development of this pathology, the following symptoms can be observed:
- when pressing on the gum or in the area of the diseased tooth, there are strong pain which a person, at times, cannot endure;
- the face is asymmetrical;
- in the affected area there is swelling, compaction and hyperemia of soft tissues;
- body temperature rises;
- weakness and loss of appetite appear;
- sleep is disturbed.
When the purulent exudate breaks out, the patient's condition improves somewhat. The temperature returns to normal, the pain disappears and the swelling subsides. However, in this case, as they say, it is too early to rejoice. An abscess does not go away on its own, but may take chronic form, where symptoms of general intoxication of the body will be constantly present, and a putrid odor will smell from the mouth. It is very important to see a doctor on time, because on initial stages can be done by methods conservative therapy, in advanced cases, it will be required surgical intervention.
Phlegmon
Phlegmon is not only a consequence of the flux, but also a complication of an abscess. This condition is very dangerous and can be fatal. With its development, no seals are observed, this is what distinguishes it from an abscess. If there are no seals, then there is no barrier that prevents the spread of purulent contents throughout the body. In a situation with phlegmon, pus freely goes beyond its reservoir and becomes a source of damage to other organs.
The clinical picture is pronounced, and carries the following symptoms:
- body temperature rises to 40C;
- the patient experiences shortness of breath;
- there is no way to move your jaw, eat or talk;
- sweating increases.
The development of phlegmon occurs rapidly, while healthy tissues are quickly attacked. Treatment is only surgical with the removal of pus from the tissues. If this problem is ignored, sepsis develops, and then a fatal outcome.
Sepsis
Translated from Greek, this disease means "rotting". This complication is very severe, characterized by a progressive course. Due to the breakthrough of pus into the bloodstream, a super-strong lesion occurs, with which the immune system is unable to cope.
With such a complication, the clinical picture is pronounced, and the following symptoms are present:
- severe weakness and loss of appetite;
- fever with chills;
- increased heart rate;
- lowering blood pressure;
- dyspnea.
Lack of attention to the problem leads to multiple damage to organs and systems. Respiratory, cardiac, kidney failure. The prognosis depends on the time of treatment started. The earlier the therapy, the less risk to life.
This is a very rare type of complication and is diagnosed in only 0.5% of all inflammatory diseases. With this pathology, a thrombus closes the lumen of the cavernous sinus, which is located at the base of the skull. Cavernous sinus regulates intracranial circulation and is responsible for venous return from the brain and eyes. Therefore, it is not surprising that such a condition poses a danger to human life.
It is quite difficult to recognize the violation, since the clinical severity has an erased symptomatology. However, there are a few signs:
- the appearance of severe headaches;
- consciousness is confused, its loss is possible;
- nausea with bouts of vomiting;
- chills;
- sharp hyperthermia to high rates;
- the appearance of seizures;
- the occurrence of pain in the neck at the time of bending it forward;
- falling into a coma;
- signs of exophthalmos eyeball protrudes forward or shifts to the side);
- eyelids swollen;
- the sensitivity of the face decreases;
- possible loss of vision.
This disease is difficult to treat. According to statistics, in most cases either death occurs or the person remains disabled.
Sinusitis
In the inflammatory process in the periosteum, the paranasal sinuses can also be affected. This disease is quite common, so doctors are familiar with it firsthand. One sinus or two or more can be affected. Depending on the form of the course, the disease can be recognized by the following signs:
| Light form. |
|
| Medium form. |
|
| Severe form. |
|
You can also highlight the general symptoms that you should pay attention to:
- feverish state;
- weakness;
- olfactory function disorder;
- difficulty breathing due to swelling and hyperplasia of the nasal mucosa;
- headache, localized in the frontotemporal region and aggravated by tilting the head.
Such a clinical manifestation can last up to 8 weeks in an acute process, then we can already talk about a chronic form.
Angina Ludwig
This is one of the forms of phlegmon associated with putrefactive-necrotic lesions of the floor of the mouth. With such an inflammatory process, muscle necrosis occurs without the formation of purulent contents. You can recognize this complication by the following symptoms:
- there is a dense solid tumor;
- the patient has difficulty swallowing (dysphagia);
- the temperature rises to 38C;
- swelling in the neck;
- when moving the tongue, pain appears;
- raised tongue;
- hoarse voice;
- putrid smell from the mouth;
- hyperemia of the skin over the inflammatory focus;
- growing symptoms of intoxication of the body.
Treatment should be started immediately, because such a condition threatens not only health, but also human life. By the end of the week, the decay products will cause severe intoxication, cardiac activity will slow down, and eventually death will occur.
Osteomyelitis of the jaw
In this disease, a purulent inflammatory lesion occurs structural components jawbone. When bone tissue is infected, destructive changes are observed, and osteomyelitis of the lower jaw is much more common than that of the upper jaw. This type of pathology is characterized by its own signs, namely:
- weakness and adynamia;
- fever with chills;
- tooth mobility;
- mouth does not open fully;
- pain when talking
- eating is difficult;
- sleep disturbance;
- dysphagia (pain when swallowing);
- pus is released from the gums;
- putrid smell from the mouth;
- diffuse pain radiating to the orbit, ear and temple;
- inflammatory infiltrate of the soft tissues of the face;
- labored breathing.
With timely diagnosis and treatment, the prognosis is favorable, but if there is no therapy, then complications are possible in the form of meningitis, brain abscess, etc.
Preventive actions
To prevent the development of any disease, as well as complications against its background, it is very important to protect your health and prevent the presence of provoking factors. In this case, it is enough to follow the advice of a doctor, as well as general rules of life. Prevention of the disease is the observance of such recommendations:
- Daily hygiene measures with brushing your teeth at least 2 times a day - in the morning and in the evening. If possible, you need to rinse your mouth after each meal:
- Regular visits to the doctor for examination of the oral cavity, at least twice a year;
- In the presence of a carious lesion, it is necessary to immediately begin treatment of the tooth in order to prevent further aggravation of the process;
- Eat foods rich in vitamins, especially fruits and vegetables;
- Any inflammatory disease should be cured immediately by acceptable methods.
- Get rid of bad habits in the form of smoking, alcohol abuse, substance abuse and drug addiction.
As you can see, the consequences of the flux are very serious. One running process provokes another and so on down the chain, in the end it can all end in death or serious health problems. It is important to treat all inflammatory processes in time, and most importantly, to prevent serious carious lesions, which in most cases provoke periostitis. In no case should you self-medicate, because this can only aggravate the course of the disease. Therapy is carried out under the supervision of a doctor with an appointment necessary drugs. This is the only way to prevent the development of complications.

Flux, the symptoms of which will be described below, is nothing more than inflammation of the soft tissues of the bone. Sometimes the problem is associated with an injury, such as a bruise, in which case the disease quickly passes, but most often its causative agent is an infection that accumulates at the base of the tooth. A similar process gives impetus to the festering of the inflamed area, as well as to the swelling of the cheek or side of the face.
Flux signs
The very first manifestations are swelling and redness of the gums in the place where periostitis should appear, then there will definitely be aching pain. If you do not go to the dentist in time, the cheek or part of the face may swell from the side of inflammation, the body temperature often rises, worsens general state body, weakness, headache. With periostitis, there is an accumulation of purulent masses, which, during treatment, are pumped out by drainage.
Causes
There are many factors that influence the appearance of such a problem as flux. Its symptoms are quite painful, and the factors that cause periostitis (another name for the disease) can also cause discomfort. These are:
- lack of proper treatment of pulpitis, caries or periodontitis;
- wounds or sores through which infection can enter;
- flux can be a consequence of some diseases;
- Quite often, periostitis occurs after surgical intervention in the oral cavity or a banal tooth extraction.
Flux. Symptoms of the disease
As soon as you notice such manifestations in yourself, be sure to urgently go to the doctor, or rather to the dentist, who will diagnose and prescribe treatment. Do not delay your visit so as not to aggravate the condition and save the tooth. Symptoms of the disease:
- fever and weakness in the body;
- swelling of the gums and its redness;
- for more later dates swelling of the face or cheeks;
- the pain is not in the tooth, but from the side of the gum.
Treatment
If you visit the doctor in time, then perhaps it will be enough only drug treatment. However, if you delay the visit, you will have to make an incision to remove the accumulated pus. This procedure is performed by an experienced dentist-surgeon. He makes an incision in the gum and puts a drain to drain the purulent escudate. At the same time, antibiotics, painkillers and antipyretics are prescribed. Treatment may take several weeks. There are cases when masses continue to accumulate in soft tissues, in these situations one speaks of an abscess, the treatment of which is much longer and, accordingly, more expensive.
Flux effects
This disease is very dangerous for the reason that the accumulated pus, and it will appear sooner or later, can lead to serious illnesses, are sometimes found deaths. After the onset of inflammation and lack of proper attention, the flux turns into an abscess. During the latter, pus collects in a soft tissue capsule and gives severe pain and high fever. Further, this liquid can break out. Symptoms will become milder. The condition may improve, and the pain will almost disappear. However, at this stage, the formation of a chronic abscess occurs. If you do not pay attention to the subsided pain, the process develops into phlegmon - this is an inflammation of fatty tissue, which will consist entirely of pus. The disease affects the maxillofacial part. The longer the pain is tolerated and the visit to the doctor is postponed, the more he will have to make an incision and the longer he will need to take medications. It is phlegmon that can lead to death due to swelling not only of the face, inflammation of the intermuscular tissue.

The question of how to treat the flux is faced by those who hesitate to visit the dentist, believing that the inflammation will pass by itself. However, this approach to the problem is dangerous, because it can lead to serious consequences. Flux (its scientific name is "periostitis") is accompanied by special symptoms. If they are recognized in time, treatment can be facilitated.
What is a tooth flux?
Periostitis is an inflammation of the periosteum. Translated from German language fluss is defined as "flow" or "flow". This is justified, because the dental flux is characterized by the accumulation of infectious fluid in the periodontium. As a result, a seal is formed. Its formation is accompanied by pain and swelling. In 60% of cases, periostitis leads to tooth loss.
Flux is of the following types:
- acute (serous, purulent and diffuse);
- chronic;
- periostitis of milk teeth.
Flux - reasons
Periostitis is provoked by various factors. The most common reasons are considered to be:
- Hygiene rules are not observed or poor-quality oral care is carried out. As a result, there are intensive reproduction pathogenic microorganisms that penetrate the gum and provoke its destruction.
- Angina, furunculosis and other ailments, accompanied by an accumulation of pathogenic bacteria, can cause the development of pathology. Such microorganisms provoke inflammation of the periosteum.
- It is observed after scratches and gum injuries.
- There is a flux after the removal of a tooth of an unsuccessful or improper treatment.
- Occurs with inflammation of the gum pocket.
Flux - symptoms
You can recognize periostitis by its characteristic features. Here's what the flux looks like:
- enlarged lymph nodes;
- pain becomes more intense;
- the gum turns bright red;
- a seal forms at the base of the tooth;
- swollen cheek;
- body temperature increases.
Why is flux dangerous?
Periostitis is considered a very serious pathology. Not only is it difficult in itself, but it also causes dangerous complications. The consequences of flux are:
- An abscess is a condition in which pus spills out of its capsule. The pain may subside for a while and the swelling disappears. However, the inflammatory process continues.
- Phlegmon is a purulent lesion of the tissue. If the pathology has a superficial form, the subcutaneous layer is affected, with a deep one - the intermuscular tissue. With this disease, pain is permanent. In addition, the mobility of the jaw and speech abilities are disturbed, breathing is difficult. Facial asymmetry is observed. The general condition of the patient worsens.
Does the flux go away on its own?
When the first symptoms of periostitis appear, you should immediately contact your dentist. While the patient will find out if the flux passes on its own, serious problems can begin. A wait-and-see attitude is not appropriate here. Although during the period of an abscess it seems that the disease has receded, but in fact it is not. It develops into a more serious problem - phlegmon.
Flux - what to do?
Treatment of periostitis involves the use of one of the following approaches:
- drug therapy(It is only effective for initial stage pathology development);
- surgical intervention (performed in this case, when an abscess appears on the surface of the gums).
Flux drug treatment provides for the following:
- antibiotics are prescribed to relieve swelling and inflammation;
- therapy is performed aimed at eliminating the root cause of the development of flux;
- to strengthen defensive forces The body is prescribed immunomodulators and vitamins.
Here's how you can't treat a flux:
- Open the fistula on the gum on your own, as this will lead to the spread of infection.
- Apply warm compresses, because heat increases the inflammatory process. In addition, there is a high probability that complications will arise faster.
- Take alcohol or apply alcohol compresses to the affected area.
How is flux removed?
If medical therapy is ineffective, surgical intervention is recommended. The patient may be overwhelmed with feelings, whether the tooth is removed with flux. In each case, the doctor makes a decision, taking into account the degree of damage to the gums, the condition of the applicant and other factors. The very same surgical intervention aimed at removing the flux is performed in several stages:
- The patient is given a local anesthetic.
- A small incision is made in the area of the flux on the gum.
- The pus is removed and drainage is established.
- The patient is referred for x-rays to properly prescribe follow-up therapy.
- If the tooth can no longer be saved, it is removed, the wound is cleaned and drainage is installed. Antibiotics are prescribed.
- With the advanced form of periostitis, treatment with iontophoresis or laser is prescribed.
After the flux is removed, Aspirin and other blood-thinning drugs should not be taken for the first few days. These medications dangerous during this period. They can cause bleeding. If 12 hours after the incision made on the gum, the patient does not feel relief, you should immediately consult a doctor. You may need to have another surgery.
Flux - how to treat at home
It is impossible to get rid of periostitis on your own. At the first signs of pathology, you should contact professional help to the dentist. Only he knows how to treat the flux and can do it right. If you delay with a visit to the doctor, this will lead to serious problems with health. However, due to certain reasons, the patient may not be able to immediately contact the dentist. Then he will come to the aid of advice on how to cure the flux at home. All these manipulations do not relieve periostitis, but only slightly alleviate the patient's condition.
Flux - how to remove a tumor at home?
Time-tested remedies will help to cope with puffiness. If you are concerned about dental flux, you can quickly remove the tumor using the following manipulations:
- Cold exposure. You can take an ice cube or a napkin soaked in cool water and apply it to the cheek where puffiness has appeared. Keep this compress for several minutes. The swelling will gradually go down.
- Applying a lozenge made from natural propolis. You need to take a small piece of this beekeeping product and warm it up in your palms. Propolis will become soft, like plasticine. Then a thin cake is made from it and applied to the gums affected by inflammation. Over time, the swelling will decrease.
- Compress with Iodinol. A cotton pad is moistened with this drug and placed on the inflamed area.
What antibiotics to take with tooth flux?
Treatment antibacterial drugs should be carried out under the supervision of a physician. When prescribing such solutions or tablets from the flux, the doctor will take into account the following factors:
- stage of development of periostitis;
- patient tolerance to drugs;
- the complexity of the surgical intervention;
- the risk of consequences.
Such antibiotics are most often prescribed for flux:
- Cifran;
- Amoxiclav;
- Tsiprolet;
- doxycycline;
- Levomycetin;
- Amoxicillin;
- Ampiox.
