About the causes - in detail

Sometimes there are painful sensations that themselves are lost. The tooth of the tooth gradually begins to die. After a while pulpitis becomes periodontitis. The body begins to ache during hypothermia and more often at night. This condition lasts several days. The painful condition stops suddenly. The canals of the tooth are open, bacteria easily enter them. Development of bone inflammation begins. The amount of pus increases daily, it gradually gets to the gum. The flux develops.
- The seal is poorly , or rather the pulp is poorly cleaned before sealing. If the remains of the channel remain in the canal, they can cause an inflammatory process in the bone. In order to check the quality of the filling, it is necessary to do an x-ray.

preparations After the diagnosis of "flux", in the opinion of many specialists, the intake of antibiotics is mandatory. Only these drugs can stop the development of the inflammatory process. It is necessary before prescription of medicines, it is necessary to determine the causative agent, the cause of the disease, its stage.
