Cavities, Withdrawn or Tambal?

The pain and throbbing toothache result is indeed annoying. Pulling teeth is often regarded as a solution to get rid of pain in the tooth, whereas in certain dental conditions can still be saved.

Persistent pain in the teeth, including when chewing or sensitive to foods, is a sign of tooth abscess. It could also be accompanied by fever, swollen lymph glands in the neck, and the body feels uncomfortable.

Tooth abscess is usually caused because the cavities are not treated properly. Abscesses occur if the pulp of a tooth pulp is infected with the bacteria so swollen and inflamed. Dilate blood vessels in the pulp and suppress the nerves that feel pain.

To reduce the pain, before going to the dentist, gargling with salt water that is dissolved in a glass of warm water can reduce pain. Sometimes the removal is the only way to cope with dental abscess, but the dentist is generally preferred to maintain the tooth by doing a patch.

Dental infection in children is also not always be revoked. "Depending on the infection and mouth hygiene. If the infection is widespread and can not be helped then it should be repealed," said drg Eky Soeria Soemantri, Ortho Sp (K), Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry, Padjadjaran University.

He explained that the tooth extraction in children can make the teeth grow unevenly next. "This could be prevented with the use of special tools for keeping the movement of teeth," he said.

To prevent tooth infection, he cautioned the importance of dental hygiene in a way to brush thoroughly twice daily and regular control to the dentist. "Tooth infections can disrupt the development of the child because most energy is used to fight infection. Absorption of nutrients can also be disturbed if his teeth hurt," he explained.
