If at the beginning of the disease not to see a doctor, the process of tooth decay progresses, bacteria penetrate the dentin into the pulp of the tooth and cause its inflammation – pulpitis, which, if untreated, the teeth will move in periostitis – periodontitis, which can eventually lead to tooth loss. What is pulpitis? Pulp – an inflammation of the pulp, resulting from the penetration of microbes into the cavity of the carious defect. His flow can be acute, painful, forcing the patient to immediately seek medical attention. Caused pain is often throbbing, smack in the entire half of the jaw, often in the ear and other parts of the head. Chronic pulpitis less painful, mostly it's the pain of a causal nature, ie arising from a particular factor, such as cold, sour or sweet drink.
If by having the pain is long and does not pass for 3-5 minutes, you should assume the pulp. What is periodontitis? Periodontitis – an inflammation of the periodontal tissue surrounding the tooth root. It can also occur acutely, with severe pain, including aggravated by nakusyvanii on the aching tooth. If you do not seek medical help, it may be swelling of the gums and even an abscess near the causative tooth. This process causes a change in the whole body: fever, leukocytosis, ESR. This is especially true for acute suppurative periodontitis, which requires urgent intervention: the opening of the tooth and cut your gums. Acute negnoyny (serous), periodontitis occurs more easily.
