In life, both periapical inflammation and pulpitis secondary to caries can cause local alveolar abscesses. After the pulp is infected and necrotic, the bacteria will spread toxins through the apical foramen to the tissues around the root of the tooth. The pain is very severe when it comes up, so it is necessary to treat the local alveolar abscess as soon as possible. So how to treat a local alveolar abscess? Oral disease treatment In the early stage of local alveolar abscess, there is often a feeling of throbbing at the root of the diseased tooth. The diseased tooth seems to be a bit higher than other teeth. When chewing food, it often touches it first, which is very painful. I dare not use it to bite things. Later, the throbbing pain at the root of the tooth became more and more painful, and it became more obvious at night, involving head and face pain, neck or throat pain, some loose teeth, and the surrounding gums were red and swollen, and abscesses gradually formed. Root canal therapy is the mainstay of treatment for local alveolar abscesses.
