Toothache causes facial swelling

Teeth are a very important part of the human body structure. In daily life, food is crushed by teeth before it reaches the stomach, making it easier to absorb and digest. I believe many people know that toothache is not a disease, but when it hurts it can often be fatal. Some people even experience facial swelling after experiencing toothache. So what methods should be used to treat toothache and facial swelling?

1. Why does toothache cause facial swelling?

Facial swelling caused by toothache is mostly due to the spread of pulp inflammation to the area around the tooth root, then from the area around the tooth root to the bone plate, and finally, the inflammation spreads through the bone plate to the soft tissue and causes facial swelling. Because the pulp is rich in blood vessels and the blood circulation is smooth, and the blood vessels are especially full during the inflammatory period, the inflammation can easily spread through the blood circulation. This type of disease is an acute inflammation and should be treated promptly once discovered.

2. What should you pay attention to if your face is swollen due to toothache?

Facial swelling caused by toothache is generally due to interstitial infection caused by suppuration and necrosis of the dental nerve. In this case, pulp drainage is required as soon as possible, and root canal treatment is performed after the inflammation subsides. It is recommended to be careful not to eat irritating foods. You can take amoxicillin or metronidazole for anti-inflammatory treatment. It is recommended to gargle with light salt water. You should seek medical treatment for reasonable diagnosis and treatment to avoid recurrence or aggravation. At the same time, brush your teeth in the morning and evening, gargle frequently, avoid the retention of food residues and the breeding of bacteria, prevent smoking, drinking, staying up late, fatigue and cold, adjust your mentality, develop good habits, and promote recovery.
